Download or read book Profiting from Abuse written by and published by UNICEF. This book was released on 2005 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sex trade is a multibillion dollar international industry, which in many countries fuels the expansion of tourism and is a significant source of foreign exchange earnings. The commercial sexual exploitation of children assumes many forms, and organised criminal networks can involve a long chain of people linking a child to an abuser sometimes thousands of miles away, through intermediaries all of whom profit in some way. This report, a tribute to the courage of the many children affected by this inhuman trade, presents the words and experiences of children who have suffered from this exploitation, as well as the views of individuals and organisations working to ending it.
