- In April
a government office reported that in 2004, approximately 4,554 children
younger than 16 were abused, of whom 2,306 were hospitalized for injuries
stemming from abuse, 1,386 were victims of sexual abuse, and 53 were victims
of incest. Concluding Observations
of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
30 September 2005 sim.law.uu.nl/SIM/CaseLaw/uncom.nsf/0/523d3e252376630ec1257092002f7426?OpenDocument [accessed 18 January 2011] [78] The Committee expresses its deep concern at the information
that child prostitution is increasing and that
not only girls, but also boys who work as vendors, couriers or domestic
servants, are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Commercial sexual exploitation of children:
The situation in the Middle East/ Based on the situation analysis written by Dr Najat M’jid
for the Arab-African Forum against Commercial Sexual Exploitation, www.unicef.org/events/yokohama/backgound8.html [accessed 18 January 2011] These countries
also have in common, however, a number of constraints that have hindered
preparation of national plans of action.
In all the countries of the region, there is cultural resistance to
addressing the problem because the subject is largely taboo. Often the issue is dealt with more
generally under headings such as ‘violence’ and ‘trauma’. This means that there has been no regional
consensus on defining CSEC in law; in some countries, for example, it is
looked upon as an indecent act, in others as rape, although in all 20
countries there is some section of the penal code that can be invoked against
sexual abuse and exploitation. Report on the Worst Forms of Child Labour Compiled by the Global March Against Child Labour [PDF] The Global March Against Child Labour Resource Centre, 20 September 2004 beta.globalmarch.org/resourcecentre/world/algeria.pdf [accessed 28 August 2012] CHILD
