Description

The term commercial sexual exploitation of children (or CSEC) is used to describe the various activities that exploit children for their commercial value including child sex tourism, child prostitution, child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes.

The term implies that the child is not only sexually abused but that there is a profit arising from the transaction – in cash or kind – where the child is considered to be a sexual and commercial object. CSEC is enshrined in Articles 34 and 35 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. – Articles 34 and 35.

CSEC describes a practice that exists to some degree in every society. However there has been a rapid expansion of CSEC in the last decade making it a problem of global proportions. Although it is impossible to verify how many children are involved in commercial sexual exploitation, recent research and anecdotal evidence shows the numbers continue to increase.
