CAUTION: The following links and
accompanying text have been culled from the web to illuminate the 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. Meanwhile, check out some of
the Term-Paper
resources that are available on-line. Teachers Check out some of

September 2020] SEXUAL
EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN - Because many girls and young women attempt to flee
repressive conditions, poverty, and food shortages for their own survival or
the betterment of their family, 2019 international media reports and the 2014
UNCOI report noted they were often subjected to sexual exploitation by
traffickers. Traffickers promised these young girls jobs in other parts of
the country or in China but then sold them into forced marriages or domestic
servitude or made them work in prostitution after being smuggled out of the
country. In their November publication of Inescapable Violence: Child Abuse
within North Korea, the Seoul-based NGO People for Successful Corean Unification documented endemic child abuse,
including child sexual abuse, in North Korean schools, homes, camps,
orphanages, and detention centers. Concluding

December 2010] [62] The Committee
notes the lack of information in the State party report on human trafficking,
in particular, involving children. [63] In the light
of article 34 and other related articles of the Convention, the Committee
recommends that the State party: (a)
Undertake a comprehensive study to assess the nature and the extent of human
trafficking, in particular involving children; (b) Ensure the protection from sexual
exploitation and trafficking in relevant legislation to all boys and girls
below the age of 18 years; and (c)
Pursue efforts to combat sexual exploitation in accordance with the 1996
Declaration and Agenda for Action and the 2001 Global Commitment adopted at
the World Congresses against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. [66] The Committee
recommends that the State party ratify the Optional Protocols to the
Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child
prostitution and child pornography and on the involvement of children in
armed conflict. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report
