Abstract: This study examines the elements that contribute to the frequency of child trafficking in different regions of Central Punjab, Pakistan. It specifically focuses on the socio-economic, cultural, parental, community, and legal influences on this illegal practice.By conducting semi-structured interviews with 40 households from various socio-economic backgrounds, geographical locations, and cultural settings, a thematic analysis uncovers prevalent themes including the effects on children, cultural factors, parentalrelationships, community assistance, methods and routes of trafficking, and legal and policy frameworks. The results highlight the immediate necessity for interventions that are culturally appropriate, legal safeguards that are strengthened, community engagement that is enhanced, programs for socio-economic empowerment, and cooperation across borders in order to effectively combat child trafficking in Central Punjab, Pakistan.
