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.

EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN - The law prohibits the commercial sexual exploitation
of children and child pornography. In January the government amended its
criminal code to conform with international law;
Article 167 now prohibits the buying and selling of children and outlines a
provision that requires an exploitation act to qualify as human trafficking.
The minimum age of consensual sex is 16 years. According to an NGO working
with victims of domestic violence, sexual exploitation, and sex trafficking,
there were several cases in which family members or third parties forced
children into prostitution in nightclubs and in private homes. Concluding

is concerned at the increase in the prostitution and trafficking of children and
women and the absence of an effective, comprehensive and integrated approach
to prevent and combat these phenomena. The Committee is also concerned at the
insufficient data and awareness of the phenomena of commercial sexual
exploitation of children in Report

Social Council Commission on Human Rights, Fifty-ninth session, 6 January

trafficking of children are criminal offences, and criminal proceedings were
instituted against three individuals in 2002. Criminal liability
is incurred by individuals over the age of 18 for the involvement of
juveniles in the performance of anti-social actions, particularly
prostitution or other acts of a sexual nature, or acts relating to the
preparation of pornographic materials. Criminal charges were
brought against two individuals for their involvement in prostitution in 2002. The
children involved do not incur criminal liability, and a number of
regulations cover the procedure for pre-trial investigations in cases
involving children, including the mandatory presence of an educational
specialist when witnesses under 14 are being questioned, and discretionary
presence when the children are between 14 and 16. Human Rights
