This story is about the discovery of how refugees who are young children are being targeted specifically for human trafficking by illegal groups, because they are the most defenseless when not accompanied by an adult. This article talks about how the forces to stop human trafficking in the UK are low, such as saying that less than half of police units have a anti-trafficking force, and it also shows how people want more trafficking to be stopped in the UK, the UK relevance of human trafficking is because this news paper is a UK news paper, and while it focuses on events in and around the world, it knows that people reading it because they are from the UK, will only care more if the UK has something to do with it, the article clearly wants the reader to feel sad for the Refugees like all their other articles about them, as they show you why Trafficking is such a problem because it's not an issue focused on, and the fact that the point of the article is about children being affected by trafficking, the article clearly wants you to feel sympathetic, because the Guardian's left wing view influences it to want to take every person into consideration, and takes concern to those who are in a lower position in life
I think this article gives a great idea of the situation of human trafficking, and displays what it's like globally, with a bit of focus on Trafficking in the UK, which makes sense, however the majority of the article is about Trafficking in general, and does not bring much focus to the title, which mentions children in particular, making this article a bit misleading, and was probably only put there for shock value.
This was a very detailed account of the recent refugee story by the guardian, with the important use of your opinion at the end. But to improve you could of included pictures to make it more eye-catching.
