Nepalese children trapped in Indian circuses

This video gives the background to the work of UK children's charity The Esther Benjamins Trust (www.ebtrust.org.uk) with Nepalese children who have been trafficked to become "performers" inside Indian circuses. Instead they experience a life of abuse and exploitation, trapped for years at a time. The Trust was the first to identify and research this problem and is now working with its local partners to end this modern day child slavery.
