- The
law prohibits prostitution; however, it was a problem. There were reports
that soldiers and rebels sexually
exploited women and young girls residing near military installations and
rebel camps. Concluding Observations of the Committee on

is concerned that children have been the victims of sexual exploitation,
sometimes by those persons who are responsible for their care. [76] The Committee
recommends that the State party make every effort to end and prevent the
sexual exploitation or abuse of children, giving particular attention to
children living in camps. The Protection Project - The www.protectionproject.org/human_rights_reports/report_documents/burundi.doc [accessed 2009] FORMS OF TRAFFICKING - Women and girls

LINK BETWEEN HIV/AIDS AND CSEC - MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM – There is little
quantifiable data on CSEC in the region. However, there is an overwhelming
amount of evidence that sexual exploitation and abuse (including commercial
sexual exploitation of children) is a massive problem. Indeed, there is a
clear indication that sexual abuse and exploitation of children within the
home, school and workplace is widespread in the region. Such children are
more likely to end up in commercial sex work (Kaponda,
2000). In Burundi, the government admits that as a result of poverty, children frequently abandon their families at an early age to look for a job, which may be in prostitution.

Rapporteur on Human Rights in Watchlist Country Report on Watchlist on Children and
Armed Conflict www.watchlist.org/reports/files/burundi.report.php [accessed 12 September 2012] EDUCATION - In interviews
with the Women’s Commission for Refugee Women and Children in 2000, Burundian
women expressed concern about children and adolescents’ lack of access to
school. They reiterated the needs to raise levels of school attendance and
literacy, and again offer children and adolescents alternatives to violence
and prostitution. Since 2000, the access to education has further
deteriorated due to insecurity. Unconfirmed reports indicate that state
funding for educational and other social programs is unevenly allocated
around the country in favor of the Tutsi population, thereby limiting access
to secondary school and university and professional opportunities for certain
groups. Human Rights Overview – Human Rights Watch, World Report 2005, Jan

calls for justice, both national and international actors appear driven more
by expediency than real concern for accountability. The late 2003 agreement
between the government and the FDD, generally supported by the international
community, granted “provisional immunity” to all combatants and leaders of
both forces, meaning that justice for their crimes would be at least
postponed and probably never delivered. All
