James Kofi Annan, Child Rights Hero, Ghana

As a child, James Kofi Annan was trafficked and worked as a slave for seven years with a fisherman. Now, he supports children forced into slavery in the fishing industry in Ghana. In Ghana, parents living in deep poverty sometimes borrow money from slave traders, who take their children when they can’t pay the loan back. Despite child slavery being against the law in Ghana, it is thought that there are almost 250,000 trafficked children working as slaves and 1.3 million child laborers in the country. The World’s Children’s Prize (WCP) Program is the world’s largest annual program educating and empowering children to become humane changemakers who stand up for the equal value of all people, the rights of the child, human rights, democracy, and sustainable development. Patrons of the World’s Children’s Prize include H.M. Queen Silvia of Sweden, Malala Yousafzai, the late Nelson Mandela, Graça Machel, Xanana Gusmão, Desmond Tutu and Sweden’s Prime Minister. Since the year 2000, close to 50 million children have participated in the annual WCP Program.
