Of sorts.The child workers of Peru face an incredible number of dangers as they make their ways from the rural villages to the city. These children are often bought or lured from their families with promises of good jobs and education in the city. Most of these children will never see their families again and in some cases, may be too young to even remember where they came from in the first place. In this case, Janet was 7 years old when a family from Cosina Olympia recruited her to work as an unpaid domestic servant. Her family was eager to give her up in the first place as the family was prone to domestic violence issues. She was later employed in a factory stamping chocolates for no compensation and was sexually abused by the son of the owner of the factory. The most common scenario is that wealthy families from the city of Cusco or Lima will travel to remote villages to recruit children as domestic servants. These children will end up working 15-20 hours per day, often with no pay whatsoever. The promise of education is only sometimes fulfilled. The families are not above beating the children if they step out of line or become rebellious and female children are often subject to sexual abuse. Within Peruvian society, these are the invisible children.
