Child Prostitution in Asia

Have you ever walked into Wal-Mart and taken the time to look at the numerous pictures of missing youth that is plastered on the wall? When looking at how long they have been missing, it ranges anywhere from months to years. Looking at their age, both boys and girls, it is hard not to wonder if these kids are being trafficked. Child sex trafficking, also known as human trafficking, is a major issue that is not only plaguing the United States, but the world. Residing in a state where teen sex trafficking is very common, it is imperative that not only adults, but the youth understand what child sex/human trafficking is, what is a sex-trafficker, and the data that reveals the seriousness of child sex

When some people hear the expression “child sex trafficking” inevitably unspeakable thoughts come to mind, others are unaware this is even happening. Sex trafficking is a serious criminal issue taking place within the borders of the United States, but on the outside of these boarders this crime stands as a reliable source of income for those who participate. Although child sex trafficking is a local crime it is obvious that multiple nations have different viewpoints on the topic. The problem at hand is meeting in the middle where this situation can exist without creating a riot with residents and eliminating the destruction of young children’s lives. Though this topic is a sensitive one, there are ways to allow it to coexist in everyday

Numerous of the underage girls who are now prostitutes, were in foster care (Saada Saar, 2014). The foster care system is a convenient and steady supply chain for the traffickers. Child welfare systems and agencies don’t properly recognize and help children who are used for sex (Saada Saar, 2014). The agencies often disregard this situation because the perpetrator isn’t a parent or guardian. Thus, shifting the responsibility onto the law enforcement who are not adequately prepared (Saada Saar, 2014). Since, these girls are often seen as prostitutes, they are frequently placed in the juvenile justice system where they can be sentenced up to two years. Many judges are frustrated by the situation they are put in (Saada Saar, 2014). They realize that they cannot return the girls to the foster care system or to their families, as they might be in danger and run away again. Therefore, judges often place girls in jail, thinking that jail is the safest and best option. At the same time, the people who rape the girls, are rarely arrested for what they do to minors (Saada Saar,

Prostitution of minors occurs all around the world. We do not notice because it may not concern us, and it is difficult to act when something does not affect us in any way. It affects you if you have children or nieces who are under age right now selling themselves to help out their families who are in need of money. What would you do right then to help them get out of that situation? That's what's going on in Europe right now when you visit, is the same thing that is happening in Mexico. There are many young girls selling themselves because they have to work to support their family.

“People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.” -unknown. This quote helps explain how people are being used as if they were objects in the depths of Asia. Human trafficking has been an ongoing problem in Asia and is prevalent even today. Human Trafficking is defined as the action or practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another, typically for the purposes of forced labour or commercial sexual exploitation. Most everyone knows that human trafficking is real, but do they know it’s depth and how real it really is? To stop the proliferative growth of human trafficking in Asia, one needs to spread

This article contends that despite the passing of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act and improvement in the provision of services for victims of human trafficking, most research has been directed towards adults rather than children. The authors found that aggregated data gathered from a multitude of international and domestic studies reveal that aid and rehabilitation for child victims of sex trafficking is truly nonexistent and that many victims end up being forced into the juvenile justice system or receiving inadequate treatment mental health treatment. The authors discuss the situation further by examining the publications available covering information about child sexual abuse and child maltreatment. While each of these

The sex industry is rather large in Hungary and the majority of prostitutes who are called “sex workers” willingly participate in their act. There are many reasons why they choose this “occupation”. With the recent economic downturn numerous people were left without a job, and they need to act to survive. Most of these people decide to work as a prostitute, because the poverty level is high, they don't have opportunities to train for new jobs or their educational level is low to reach another level or society. The absolute majority strongly believe that their activity is merely a source

In regards to their essay on sex trafficking and child prostitution, Kristof and WuDunn note their successful and failed efforts to help these women. Each time they interviewed a woman, they “bought” her from the brothel owner and aimed to set her up for economic success outside of forced prostitution. However, one girl quickly and willingly returned to the brothel due to her drug dependence (where she obtained the addiction from being forced to take drugs in order oblige her customers). Kristof and WuDunn indicated, that in order to effectively help women, advocates need to focus on prevention, through education, empowerment to give women a voice, and putting brothels out of business. Prajwala’s model is effective for those already in the

This is supposed to be a free country. We the people are supposed to have the right to make decisions in our own individual lives that will benefit our future. But in this country the government puts so much restraint on an individual when they want an abortion, maybe an individual wants to clone for personal reasons, use contraceptive, or die under their own will. Those choices are an individual’s own morality and should not be judged when living in a free country. What about Child Prostitution or Domestic Violence that are not individual choices? Why do those two phenomenon’s seem to be looked over and the court doesn’t have a strong hand in developing a solution in such resilient issues?

China has faced many human rights violations, such as freedom, speech and many more. For example, China has trouble protecting the rights of their own people. They have human trafficking still, and they’re government isn’t protecting their people. “Sun Bin was able to hug his father and sister for the first time in 24 years on Tuesday, after being torn away from his family by child trafficking in1991.” It took they’re government to find them after 24 years to find one person who was missing. “Selling children for sex and profit is a major business in China, the news outlet reported.” Again China failed to stop or even start a movement to promote the protection of children. Kids here are not looked after properly. “ After the 28- year- old

Many american people have little understanding on how children are recruited into human trafficking. By the american people knowing the ways, they recruit young children we can possible try to put a ending to human trafficking. “Deceptive ads for work abroad in local newspapers, and employment and travel agencies mislead people to believe that they will be migrating for legitimate jobs. Children can also be sold into trafficking by family members who have been promised high profit remittances.” By stopping these terrible ads, and family members from giving up each other all for money, maybe one day we will end human trafficking on young

One such problem human trafficking has been affecting many lives through years but through recent decades human trafficking both sexually and labor exploitation have risen drastically. Especially, in Southeast Asia, where child sex trafficking is a constant trouble that needs help to be fix.

It is common knowledge that children represent innocence and hope for the future. Many individuals, unfortunately, take advantage of such innocence and corrupt it. This corruption has taken place around the world with no end in sight. The corruption of children can take place in many forms, such as emotionally and psychologically but the most gruesome method is for sexual exploitation and pornography.

In the countries of South East Asia, prostitution is an issue that has been going on for years. Dating back to pre communist era in Japan and Vietnam where it grew larger, prostitution is an issue in Asia. Due to economic, political and class factors prostitution is an easy way to make money but it’s the women who are put into the spotlight. The girls are put into prostitution to bring money into the household, pay off debts, and keep themselves out of poverty. Along with the moral issues of prostitution there are also the health factors of the risk of HIV and AIDs.

With child prostitution comes child pornography. Child pornography is the exploitation of children for sexual stimulation. It may produce with consent or non-consent. However, some people travel across the world to engage in “child sex tourism”. “Child sex tourism” is tourism for the purpose of child prostitution. “Child sex tourism” is most severe in South America and Asia, but is still a global problem.
