Abstract
Numerous research studies are conducted in different parts of the world to investigate the contributing factors towards child trafficking. The present study is also an attempt to add to the already existing knowledge on the issue with special reference to educational factors. This study is designed with the aim to find out association of educational factors with child trafficking. The study is carried out in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A sample of 392 respondents is selected through a stratified random sampling technique from legal experts, crime reporters, and academia. The study shows that lack of educational facilities, ignorance of parents, dropout from schools, harsh attitude of teachers, and passive role of media are associated with child trafficking. Based on our investigation, it is suggested that quality education both general and technical may be initiated for all segments of society without any prejudice and discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, and/or religion.
