- CHILDREN -
The government protected the rights and welfare of children through the
general framework of civil and political rights legislation that protects all
citizens. For example, the law provides for criminal punishment for sexual
abuse of children and students, statutory rape, and procuring that involves
minors. Concluding Observations of the Committee on
the Rights of the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
30 September 2005 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/china2005.html [accessed 19 February 2011] [6] While noting
with appreciation the State party’s signature of the Memorandum of
Understanding against Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region in October
of 2004, the Committee is concerned at the absence of a plan of action to
combat trafficking and sexual exploitation applicable either to the mainland
or the Macau SAR. [8] The Committee
regrets the limited statistical data on sexual exploitation and cross-border
trafficking included in the State party’s report, both with regard to
mainland China and the Macau SAR . It is further concerned that the data
refer almost exclusively to the number of women and children rescued rather
than those abducted, and that data often refer to different time periods,
which hampers accurate assessment and monitoring of the situation regarding
the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. [14] The Committee
is concerned at the limited information provided about services to assist
child victims with regard to reintegration and recovery on the mainland. It
is also concerned about the absence of assistance programs specifically
designed for child victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation in the
Macau SAR. ECPAT: In Trafficking Case, Court Balks Again Brian Calvert, The Cambodia Daily, 27

is being held on charges related to human trafficking. The main witness
against him is an under-age Vietnamese girl, who says she survived an
intricate network of pimps, brokers and human smugglers - including Tang Kim
Min - who hustled her through Cambodia, southern China and eventually to Macau. Vietnam

traffickers sell hundreds of women and children each year in Europe, China,
Cambodia and Macau, for
prostitution and arranged marriages. The Dark Side of

government will take measures against prostitution and to protect girls who
live on the street. She said that
street girls as young as 14 and 15 years-old are often trafficked to Macao,
Singapore and Malaysia. All
