OW do children become sex slaves?
Children who come from the lowest rung of the economic ladder in their society are at the most risk. Education may be reserved for boys, so girls are especially vulnerable and accessible to traffickers.

There are three basic ways in which persons are trafficked: a girl is sold by a family member, friend or neighbor; a girl is tricked into going to another country with the promise of a job or a marriage proposal; or a girl is kidnapped and forcefully taken away. Once in the hands of brothel owners and pimps, the girls are subjected to a tortuous “break in period” that often includes multiple gang rapes, beatings, deprivation of food, and being burned by acid or cigarettes. The abuse can continue for weeks or until the girl complies with the wishes of the brothel.

WHY do they stay in the brothels?
The brothels owners will go to any extreme to protect their lucrative “property.” Brothels employ guards and enforcers to keep the girls from leaving. Those who do escape are beaten or murdered then used as examples for the others. Girls are disoriented and psychologically tortured until they lose the will to run away.

Sometimes there is a supposed option for girls to buy their way out of servitude—they must work for the brothel until they earn the price for which they were purchased. But the girls are charged for shelter, food, clothing and medical expenses. Their debt continually escalates and in reality, they have no hope of ever earning their freedom.

WHAT is the size of the problem?
Child sex slavery is a global problem. The United Nations estimates that approximately 1 million girls/women are forced into the commercial sex industry each year. It is a highly sophisticated industry in almost every country, including the United States. In Nepal an average of nearly 20 children a day are trafficked to India and the Middle East with 300,000 Nepalese child prostitutes in India and 650,000 child prostitutes in Asia under the age of 16. Once oriented into the sex trade, a girl might find herself forced to sleep with up to twenty clients a day.

WHAT is the impact of trafficking?
The human rights violations associated with the trafficking of persons are staggering, resulting in a form of modern day slavery. Likewise, the public health implications are also significant. Many sex workers are forced to have unprotected sex. In Bombay upwards of 80% percent of the sex workers are HIV positive. Many of the victims live in horrible conditions and suffer from a full array of chronic infectious diseases. Girls who manage to escape from the sex trade and return to their villages are often not accepted into their communities – they are considered “spoiled”. In order to survive, they are forced to go underground where they continue selling sex.

WHAT can be done to help the girls?
First and foremost, more girls need to be rescued from brothels. Then they need housing, medical attention, marketable skills to allow them to earn a living and spiritual renewal. Some can be returned to their home villages and others need a place to die with dignity. They also need strong legal allies who can prosecute cases and create anti-slavery laws that are actually enforced. Outreach is needed at the village level to warn families and expose local traffickers.
