situation in HOW TO USE THIS WEBPAGE Students If you are looking for
material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on this
page and others to see which aspects of child prostitution are of particular
interest to you. You might be
interested in exploring how children got started, how they survive, and how
some succeed in leaving. Perhaps your
paper could focus on runaways and the abuse that led to their leaving. Other factors of interest might be poverty,
rejection, drug dependence, coercion, violence, addiction, hunger, neglect,
etc. On the other hand, you might
choose to write about the manipulative and dangerous adults who control this
activity. There is a lot to the
subject of Child Prostitution. Scan
other countries as well as this one.

EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN - The law prohibits commercial sexual exploitation of
children; the sale, offering, or procuring of a child for prostitution; and
child pornography, and authorities enforced the law. Amendments to the Penal
Code which entered into force in January provided stricter penalties for the
sexual exploitation of children. The Office of the Ombudsperson for Children
stated that crimes and violence committed against children increased during
the year, and claimed many crimes remained unreported. The Ministry of the
Interior conducted investigative programs and worked with international
partners to combat child pornography. The ministry operated a website known
as Red Button for the public to report child pornography to police. The
minimum age for consensual sex is 15. Concluding

Rights of the Child, 1 October 2004 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/croatia2004.html [accessed 30 January
2011] [17] The Committee
is concerned about the absence of disaggregated statistical data and other
information on the situation of children, especially those belonging to
different ethnic groups and the most vulnerable groups. This type of
information is lacking in particular with respect to girl children, street
children, disabled children, displaced, refugees and asylum-seekers children,
children from minority groups, Roma children. [66] While welcoming
the measures taken by the State party to prevent and raise awareness of the
problem of trafficking in persons, including the establishment of the
National Committee for the Prevention of Trafficking in Persons responsible
for formulating and implementing the National Plan for the Prevention of
Trafficking in Persons, it remains concerned about the effective
implementation of the Plan and at the lack of statistical data and specific
information on measures undertaken to combat trafficking. ECPAT Report On The
