For this purpose, it will be analyzed in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime; the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child; the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, and other applicable regional international treaties. In international law there is no definition of the beginning and end of childhood. Therefore, a comparison will be made between the definition of "child" in the above international acts, and the challenges related to the protection of children from trafficking will be presented.otherdefinition of childinternational protection actstrafficking of childrenbeginning and end of childhoodArticle
