- Due to the genocide and deaths from HIV/AIDS, there were numerous children
who headed households, and some of these children resorted to prostitution or
may have been trafficked into domestic servitude. UNICEF estimated in 2004
that there were 2,140 child prostitutes in the major cities and several thousand
street children throughout the country. Concluding Observations of the Committee on

girls who come through shelters and missions in Kigali work as prostitutes
and risk contracting HIV is of equal concern to aid workers. "It's
difficult… they are unstable," says one of Dion's aides, who identified
herself only as Madame Eugenie. "The girls I see spend most of their
days in the mission. In the evening, many go to the nightclubs and work as
prostitutes for the money they need to survive. Lasting Wounds: Consequences of Genocide

STREETS
– SEXUAL VIOLENCE
AGAINST STREET GIRLS
- While less numerous than street boys, girls living on the streets
experience most of the same problems as boys and, in addition, are frequently
subjected to sexual violence. A local NGO recently reported that 80 percent
of street girls have been victims of rape, while another study puts the
figure as high as 93 percent. One study found that girls who turn to the
streets are generally younger than street boys. Street girls are often
invisible because they do not travel around in gangs as boys do, staying
generally on their own or in small groups. All
