REASONS FOR INVOLVING CHILDREN IN CSW - The Sex Workers were able to describe many
reasons for involving their children in Commercial Sex Work (CSW). Several
accounts below are taken directly from the questionnaires: 1. Most cited money
(or lack thereof) as reason for involving children in sex work. Because
clients were found to pay more for sex with children, the temptation to
involve them in sex work is very strong 2. Some women
allowed a neighbor to have sex with their child to cover the utilities/rent.
Often the mothers found themselves with no food, no electricity, or no water.
Regional Governmental Congress on Sexual Exploitation of Children 3. “Business is
slow”: (clients no longer want to be with aging mother) and clients offered a
lot more money for a child. One mother sold her 8 year old daughter because
clients were no longer Interested in her (quite a few expressed anger and
hurt that clients no longer found them desirable). 4. In many cases,
the Commercial Sex Work (CSW) stated that it was the partner’s idea to
increase income. The Commercial Sex Work (CSW) generally denied involvement
in any part of the decision making. 5. The
pimp/concubine/father sold children (to friends or at gold mine) without the
permission or knowledge of the Commercial Sex Workers (CSW). All
