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

FEATURED ARTICLE *** ECPAT: CSEC Overview - Country Report www.ecpat.net/eng/ecpat_inter/Country/CSECOverview/Spain.html [Last access date unavailable] In recent years the
Spanish Government has started showing more attention to the problem of
Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. Cases of organized trafficking of
women and girls for sexual exploitation and numerous investigations of child
pornography networks with links in the country through Internet have put
pressure on the Government to take action, in cooperation with local and
international NGOs as well as with other European governments. ***

persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation (most frequently involving
forced prostitution and work in
nude dancing clubs) and, to a lesser degree, forced labor (primarily
agriculture, construction, and domestic employment). Trafficked women were
usually 18 to 30 years of age, but some girls were as young as age 16. Concluding Observations Of The Committee On

citizens knows or has heard someone of his surroundings say that he has had
sex relations with children during a trip to developing countries, according
to the report "Sexual exploitation of children during travels,"
unveiled Wednesday by UNICEF. The profile of this
kind of people, according to UNICEF, is not that of a pederast, but of an
"occasional sexual abuser," more exactly a man aged between 40 and
60 who is in search of adult prostitution and ends up having sex with a
child. The main sex tourism destinations are the Caribbean Islands and
Central America, UNICEF said. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report
