| | global reproductive health forum: re/productions #2: child prostitution |
| | Child prostitution is a term in popular usage but is inaccurate because it implies consent. | | | The age of becoming a prostitute was under 18 years for 90.3 percent of the girls (16 years was the average age). | | | The Convention on the Rights of the Child clearly lays down the role of the state in the protection of the child in Article 34, where it notes that the state will undertake to protect the child from all forms of sexual exploitation and abuse. |

| | Trafficking in women and forced prostitution are forbidden by law and punishable by up to 10 years of prison; however, trafficking in children is a crucial issue. | | | Prostitute users know this only too well, and rightly estimate that the risk of anything more serious than being required to pay a small fine or bribe is slim, even if the prostitute they are with is underage.” | | | Article 3 stresses, “the act of conveying or attempting to convey slaves from one country to another by whatever means of transport, or of being accessory thereto, shall be a criminal offence under the laws of the States Parties to this Convention and persons convicted thereof shall be liable to very severe penalties.” |

| | However, the fact remains that all street children survived by means of theft or prostitution, brothels existed containing children exclusively, and of nearly 2,600 prostitutes arrested in Paris 1,500 were minors (Rush, p.63). | | | In the subject of Victorian prostitution, children are often overlooked. | | | The term "child" held it's own problem as there was a constant struggle over deciding when a child was mature enough to seduce or consent. |

| | On October 28, 2000, after years of advocacy by individuals and nongovernmental organizations — including Human Rights Watch — President Clinton signed the "Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000," H.R. The law covers trafficking for forced prostitution and forced labor and authorizes funding for trafficking prevention programs and protection of victims. | | | In addition, The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 gives the Department of State a historic opportunity to create an office whose exclusive responsibility is the promotion and protection of the rights of those at risk of trafficking and those who have been trafficked. | | | Trafficking in persons — the illegal and highly profitable recruitment, transport, or sale of human beings for the purpose of exploiting their labor — is a slavery-like practice that must be eliminated. |
