   A notorious highway in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh is the   
   site of a shocking trade.   
      
   Girls as young as 10 are being forced to work as prostitutes -   
   and it is their own families selling them to passing truckers.   
      
   The girls are from the Bachara tribe, an unprivileged-caste   
   community known as Dalits.   
      
   Most of the Bachara men say discrimination stops them from   
   getting jobs, so generations of girls have supported their   
   families through prostitution.   
      
   Meneka's mother forced her into prostitution at the age of 15.   
   She now has a two-year-old daughter of her own and says she   
   feels trapped.   
      
   "I feel like I am born in the wrong place, doing the wrong   
   thing. But what can I do? I can't say much because this is our   
   tradition."   
      
   Filming undercover, 101 East discovers that girls as young as 10   
   are being offered to men.   
      
   While India introduced tougher child rape laws in 2018,   
   advocates say the laws are not properly enforced.   
      
   "The people who are exploiting the child - they are not   
   customers, they are rapists," says Asheif Shaikh, the founder of   
   a local NGO that frees local girls from what he describes as   
   sexual slavery.   
      
   "This practice is like the serial rape of the children ... They   
   are raped about 10 to 12 times in a day."   
      
   Madhya Pradesh has the highest number of reported child rape   
   cases of any state in the nation.   
      
   In this exclusive investigation, 101 East exposes the Indian   
   villages where parents sell their daughters for sex.
