4. PROSTITUTION
- Because of the deterioration of the economic situation of the country, the
prevalence of prostitution among both boys and girls is rapidly increasing.
There are some children who work as street vendors, guards, or domestic
workers and engage in occasional prostitution. The high prevalence of HIV/AIDS
in the country is attributed to sexual promiscuity and the increase in
prostitution. Pedophilia, child sexual exploitation, and rape are also
increasing. SOS Violences Sexualles,
Ivorian human rights NGO, states that about 15,000 to 20,000 women and children
are raped every year. All material used herein
