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 material used herein
