Facts
An estimated 2 million children, the majority of them girls, are sexually exploited in the multi-billion dollar commercial sex industry. (Source:UNICEF)
Sexual exploitation of children occurs in every country in the world. Child prostitutes serve between 2 and 25 clients per day, meaning each child serves from 830 to 9,150 clients per year. These children are often drugged and develop drug and alcohol addictions.
“Child prostitution is not acceptable in any country. It is child abuse and illegal in all countries around the world. Children who are prostituted rarely go on to a normal life. They suffer long-term emotional, physical and social problems. Girls may have reproductive problems due to the immaturity of their bodies when they become sexually active. HIV and AIDS are also widely seen among prostituted children. “(Source:ECPAT)
