Child Prostitution -By Brenda Zhang and Kate Walton Child prostitution in Africa

LOME, TOGO. In downtown Lome there is an area known locally as "The Child Market," where girls as young as nine are offered for sex, sometimes for less than a dollar.

The child welfare groups complain that there lacks the law to protect the children, and the police in there even not protect them, the police patrol the district even ask the sex for free.

Some girls there even don't know who their parents are, they need to earn enough money and hand in all these to a woman the one they called Mama.

So we can tell from the facts above, the local government doesn't give the proper protection for children being away from the prostitution.

But there are still some organizations that consisted of the volunteers who want to help these children. They are the coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) and the African branch of the World Association of Orphans (WAO- Africa).

Many people believe that human trafficking and abuse are a horrible part of life, which it is. The human trafficking laws vary on each country. In other ways to describe it, it is the reform of slave labor and extreme forms of sexual activity. Trafficking victims are taken away from their original homes and are trick often told that they are going to be paid money for completing a job or are being taken to find work. Women, Men, and children are either sold by their family members to be purchased or they are abducted. All of their official Legal documents are taken away and they become isolated from the outside world. Most often time’s people who are sold are viewed as “undocumented aliens”. People become resold from one person to another to be passed down the line to be “recycled”. Trafficking is one of the most horrific results of the economic and social disparities that increase the vulnerability of millions of people throughout the entire world. The definition of "Trafficking in persons" is "the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation includes, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs." All Women, men and children face vulnerability to HIV and AIDS. Sexual abuse and prostitution are daily life challenges for all who are taken to the brothels. The government today is instilling education for children who are not in formal school surroundings. These children are far more likely to become victims of human trafficking. Street kids easily disappear and child laborers have few protections against the abuse for the victims who are facing this every day. Many schools are also a key source for teaching both child and family about protecting themselves. The government is teaching parents and children about the dangers of human trafficking and child prostitution in the world. In Nepal an estimated 12,000 girls between age nine and sixteen are sold and taken from their homes each year, once they are sold they are forced to enter a Brothel house. It is very common for Nepalese girls to be sold into various different countries far away from home such as India, Eastern Europe, and Saudi Arabia. Most of the time these innocent children are sold by their most trusted family members, including their Fathers, brothers, Uncles, and cousins. Once these girls enter their new Brothel homes they are forced into a debt sometimes double or triple the cost that they are bought for and cannot leave until they have payed off the chosen amount of debt to their brothel owner. Leaving little or no hope that they will ever bee free, and allowed to return home. In the brothel homes the girls virginity is sold to the highest bidder, then they are raped countless times until they either pay off their debt or escape. Most city men will pay more for a virgin because it is believed that they can cure disease such as HIV or Aids and bring good fortune. This ends up many times infecting the girls the first time they ever have sex. In Nepal trafficking girls for the purpose of sex slavery has become highly popular, and It is one of the most popular area's for this in the hole world.
