Child Prostitution Program

When children are trafficked for sexual exploitation, most – if not all – of them end up in prostitution. Because there is a demand and because children are cheaper to acquire and traffic than adults, the lure of greater profits motivates traffickers to carry on with their sinister deeds.

Children trafficked for prostitution often end up imprisoned in rooms, watched by armed guards, starved, beaten and raped by their own recruiters/captors. Children have to bear everything customers do to their bodies, even endure sadomasochistic or violent sex. Addiction to drugs and alcohol becomes an escape to numb the pain of physical injuries inflicted by repeated and forced sex, and to quell their feelings of nausea from the forced intake of body parts and secretions. Taken from this angle, the labeling of children as ‘prostitutes’ is regarded as an injustice to the children, as it linguistically reinforces the view of children as sex offenders, rather than as victims of sexual abuse.
