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.

- Information on the situation in CONCLUSION - The outlook for
this generation of vulnerable children – and future ones, too – seems bleak.
Even as economies start recovering, growing inequalities may simply furnish
more men in the cities with the means to buy their services, while leaving
the rural communities from which they come further behind. The sex trade has a firm grip on its
victims, who cannot easily escape because there are so few opportunities for
them. With HIV/AIDs on the increase in ***

Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and improve Child Rights. The

developed a National Plan of Action for implementation of the recommendations
provided by the child rights committee and an NGO coalition was formed in
accordance with the recommendations of the CRC Committee to promote and
strengthen implementation of the CRC. Other initiatives have included: • Policies to
counter child prostitution, child pornography and assault on children. ECPAT:

RECOVERY & REINTEGRATION RECOVERY AND
INTEGRATION
- What social, medical, educational and
therapeutic programs exist to support child victims of CSE? In Uzbekistan, many
children that have been sexually exploited are reluctant to tell others, as
they fear revenge from their employers and also the indifference of state
officials. According to the Uzbek law, young girls who have been forced into
prostitution can themselves be prosecuted. Furthermore public condemnation of
victims hinders any serious efforts toward recovery and reintegration. - Legal Aid ***

February 2020] CHILDREN - There were
reports that girls were trafficked from the country for the purpose of sexual exploitation and that girls
were engaged in forced prostitution. TRAFFICKING
IN PERSONS
– The country was primarily a source for the trafficking of women and girls
for the purpose of sexual
exploitation and men for labor. There were no reliable statistics on the
extent of the problem, although NGOs reported labor trafficking was much more
prevalent than trafficking for sexual
exploitation, and was likely rising due to poor economic conditions. All
