so far had a limited impact. Suspect in Tel Aviv pedophile case ran

27.01.2009 [accessed 2 June 2011] Police said Monday
that the main suspect used to stalk children and youths near clubs in Tel
Aviv, such as the TLV club at the Tel Aviv Port. When he detected youths with
sexual-identity issues he, "took them under his wing" and turned
them into prostitutes, a police source said, on the basis of gathered
testimonies. He pimped the youths to
pedophiles for NIS 200 at a time, the source said. The police Monday confronted the Internet
executive and the principle victim in the case, who turned 17 Tuesday.
Another minor, 14, told the detectives that the executive had been sexually
abusing him since he was 12 years old. 10% percent of Israeli prostitutes are

Sub-Committee on Human Trafficking - headed by Meretz
MK Zehava Gal-On - focusing on a new Education
Ministry initiative aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of the sex
industry in general and human trafficking in particular among school-age
children. TFHT's report also noted a new trend of 13 and 14 year olds
frequenting prostitutes. Earlier in the
session, the minister had referred to the rise in media reports of children,
some as young as 11 or 12, using cellphones to capture graphic sexual
incidents on camera and stories of teens pimping out their peers for cash. Tamir said that the goal of the program, which started
work six months ago, was to combat such incidents and to provide teachers
with the educational tools to raise awareness of right and wrong among teens. Israeli Project Aids Teens, Young

COUNTRY UPDATES – ISRAEL – The Israeli Association for Social Care, Health and
the Solution of Conflict (IASC) has developed a project in which workers are
trained to counsel street children, many of whom are involved in
prostitution. However, IASC experienced some official administrative as well
as financial problems in the implementation of this project. Another major project has been implemented
by the organization ELEM-Youth. In January 2001 the pilot project “They Too
Have a Right to Blossom” officially began. In addition to learning about
CSEC, which is the primary focus of the program at this point, ELEM has
identified children who are currently involved in prostitution, and begun the
process of assisting them through referrals to community based youth services
for treatment. Mothers pimping
