September 2020] Weak laws
regulating sexual exploitation in travel and tourism are turning the African
continent into a “new frontier for child sexual exploitation”, according to a
new report. The study, by the
African Child Policy Forum, sheds light on the continued rise of child sexual
exploitation, including new forms such as “tourism marriages” and cybersex. In Egypt, “tourism
marriages” between young girls and male tourists were reported, predominantly
among families from poorer backgrounds, who received financial payments for
providing their daughters. In Senegal, the
study found online sexual exploitation has resulted in “young girls being
recruited into pornographic films and bestiality”. In Kenya, Malawi,
Tanzania, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and Zimbabwe, 22-38% of girls and
9–17% of boys have experienced sexual violence Sexual Exploitation
