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. Draw comparisons between activity in
adjacent countries and/or regions.

welcomes the enactment in 2000 of the Law on the Combating of Trafficking of
Persons and Sexual Exploitation of Minors and the Protection of Witnesses Law
of 2001 making specific provision for the protection of child witnesses.
While noting that the State party does not consider that problems relating to
trafficking or other forms of sexual exploitation exist, the Committee
remains concerned that such problems may remain “hidden” and that the
authorities may be unaware of them. In
particular, the Committee refers to the concerns expressed by the Special
Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography
