Summary
Child prostitution continues to be a growing epidemic in the world. While Southeast Asia has traditionally been associated as the sex-trade capital of the world, the last decade of the twentieth century introduced some African nations as emerging contenders in this salacious industry. As this trade increases, so do the number of innocent young children who are often forced or sold into this sexual exploitation.
While there are several global humanitarian organizations taking measures to combat these injustices, the problem still remains quite significant.
