ECPAT estimates that 3,000 children under the age of 18 are involved in prostitution for their survival and thousands more are sold for sex on the streets of Luanda. ECPAT also reports that relatives and guardians have allegedly forced minors into prostitution, especially children from rural areas. Some night club owners reportedly allow under-age girls into clubs for sexual exploitation by clients. Cases of sexual exploitation of children by military groups and foreign men in Angola are allegedly on the rise. *** ARCHIVES

CHILDREN - Separated
from their families and unable to rely on kinship networks, they tend to
organize into smaller groups with an older child protecting younger children,
socially isolated in ghettoized buildings. Many are orphaned or abandoned;
some have left starving families or abusive environments. For children,
survival requires washing cars, carrying water, scavenging in dustbins or
prostituting themselves. Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict [PDF] Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict,
