Prostitution of chiIdren or chiId prostitution is a form of child sexual
abuse involving the commercial sexual exploitation of children in which a child performs
the services of prostitution, for financial benefit. The term normally refers to prostitution
by a minor, or person under the local age of majority. n many countries there are
specific laws against child prostitution which may include people who are older than the
local Age of consent.
The Philippines is highly affected by all forms of commercial sexual exploitation
of children, which seem to be closely linked and greatly impact on one another. Children
living on the streets engage in informal labor activities such as scavenging or begging.
Children are also engaged in domestic service and are involved in the commercial sex
industry, including the use of children in the production of pornography and the
exploitation of children by sex tourists. Children are reportedly trafficked internally for
purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and labor. Child prostitution takes many
appearances, from stripping and indecent dance; massage; guest relations; mobile sex
trade in streets and malls; on board docked ships or boats; and outright sex slavery in
sex dens.
The form of child prostitution, in which people travel to foreign countries for the
purposes of avoiding laws in their country of residence is known as child sex tourism.

O UNICEF (United Nations ChiIdren's Fund)
GoaI
ore children in the Philippines are becoming victims of abuse, violence and
exploitation. Nearly 1.7 million children do not have birth documents. Having no birth
documents deprives children of basic health, educational and protection services,
therefore making them increasingly vulnerable to different forms of abuse and
exploitation. The country lacks a national child protection monitoring and reporting
system to determine the exact number of children in need of special protection, such as
victims of abuse, violence and exploitation.
UNCEF works to provide a safe and protective environment for children
identified as vulnerable and to victims of abuse, exploitation and violence, by educating
families to prevent abuse, violence and exploitation, and enabling children-at-risk to
protect themselves through rescue, healing and recovery services.
UNCEF supports the development and strengthening of child protection
networks at community, local and national levels. We also support the establishment of
more Child Protection Units, child-friendly investigation studios and specialised courts to
help victims of child abuse and exploitation.

SociaI Change
Regardless of population size, firstly we must take a hard look at the family unit,
something that in the past has made our civilization great. Dismantling this basic unit
has been a slow and insidious symptom of economic changes since the $econd World
War. With technologies racing ahead at phenomenal speed, and the cost of living in our
ever-transforming world increasing, we have been forced to redistribute our time and
energy to suit this changing environment. As a consequence, we now work longer, have
far greater stress and responsibility with little time or energy left for family and
relaxation.
Children today in our wealthy society are virtually given everything they could desire
physically, by circumstance and the society in which we live, but emotionally it is
another matter. any of their role models (the parents) are rarely home. They are
virtually workaholics and when they are home are stressed, exhausted and want
nothing but to have a stiff drink, relax and not have to deal with anything more in their
day. These children have become the casualties of this social development, having to
grow up in either day care or responsible for themselves, alone at home. This
circumstance has created many problems. Not having attainable role models, not being
shown enough love, not having supervision, not understanding boundaries of behavior,
having too much money, too much freedom and being spoilt from over compensatory
parents are but a few of these problems. This, in the end, can translate into poorly
adjusted children.
