THE MAIN CAUSES OF PROSTITUTION IN CHAD - Prostitution increased considerably
during the civil war, which lasted from 1979 to 1982. Unfavorable
socio-economic factors affected the lives of most Chadians. The situation was
worse depending on the size of a family, pushing fathers to neglect their duties.
Unable to cope with their failure to meet basic needs, many fathers turned
away from their parental responsibilities and left children to the streets.

RECOVERY & REINTEGRATION - THE MIDDLE EAST AND In Chad, UNICEF has
developed a project for children in need of special protection. One
project component has been developed with the particular aim of providing
protection and psychological rehabilitation to CSEC victims. The project is
planned for an initial 3-year period of time. An educational program
has been developed, together with the Chadian Ministry of Social Affairs,
specifically for officials that come in contact with children, including CSEC
victims, to work for the child’s protection. Paul Brown, environment correspondent, The
Guardian, 27 September 2002 www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2002/sep/27/internationalnews [accessed 13 September 2011] A coalition of
environment, religious and development groups have produced two reports
showing that so far the construction of the pipeline has damaged the
interests of people along its entire length: water supplies have been
damaged, pygmies have lost hunting lands, farmers have lost land and crops
and an influx of immigrant workers has brought child prostitution and spread
AIDS. All
