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.

also have in common, however, a number of constraints that have hindered
preparation of national plans of action. In all the countries of the region,
there is cultural resistance to addressing the problem because the subject is
largely taboo. Often the issue is
dealt with more generally under headings such as ‘violence’ and
‘trauma’. This means that there has
been no regional consensus on defining CSEC in law; in some countries, for
example, it is looked upon as an indecent act, in others as rape, although in
all 20 countries there is some section of the penal code that can be invoked
against sexual abuse and exploitation. ***
