Global Shame


Sexploitation: WHERE ANGELS DIE

By Emdad Rahman
Writer, Journalist - UK

The trafficking of Children has become one of the biggest sources of revenue for gangs and syndicates
all over the world.

UNICEF believes the issue of Child sexual abuse, including prostitution, pornography, and Child trafficking in Europe (particularly the border areas between East & West) needs to be made a priority to combat the problem.

Prostitution is a death sentence for many Children,
who become exposed to STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) & HIV/AIDS, which are rampant in the sex industries.

Eva Vanickova, author of the Third Medical Faculty of Charles University, compiled responses from 1,585 pupils from Cheb and Prague primary schools found that the following:

>> 65% of children in Prague &
>> 75% of children in Cheb
knew that child prostitution existed.

The way in which child prostitution is viewed was surprising as follows:

# 18% of girls considered prostitution to be an opportunity to live a luxurious life.

# 24% of girls considered prostitution to be an opportunity for people without education to obtain education.

# 25% of boys considered prostitution to be an opportunity to obtain money for drugs.

# 95% of children in Cheb said they could envisage becoming involved in prostitution (in Prague 6%)

# Almost 14% of children in Cheb had already been approached by an adult with an offer of sex for money (in Prague 10%).

Other findings included the following:

~Children living in certain streets see prostitution everyday.
~There is a lack of sex education at school. Most children have no idea how to respond in a risky situation, such as being approached by a sex tourist.
~Children do not know whom to contact if such a situation arises.
~Children do not have the opportunity to communicate openly on the topic of prostitution, many teachers refuse to talk about the subject.
~"Hookers and pimps" is a common children's game in the parks.

Many parents are worried about their children's security and therefore do not allow them to go out and play in the afternoon. www.islamonline.net

Economic impulses and commercial forces drive globalization, but its impact goes far beyond the economy to affect all facets of social and political life. Powerful commercial interests have given rise to a commercial and commercializing global culture that, it is quite apparent, will not be satisfied until it reaches into the deepest recess of social life. Most recently the commercial global culture has generated a new form of slavery, more brutal and degrading than any form of slavery known thus far.

Millions of vulnerable Women and unsuspecting Children throughout the world, some as young as 10 years old, are trapped into a vicious and ugly world of exploitation, disease and abuse. These children are sold, traded, prostituted, and trafficked under the watching eyes of a world community that has decided to ignore their plight.

Most of these sex slaves are kept by their masters until their commercial value deteriorates as a result of their deteriorating health conditions with the advancement of the many sexual diseases they are exposed to, including HIV and AIDS. Sadly, the end of their conditions of slavery does not signal the end of their miseries, but the beginning of a life of poverty, illness, and shame.

There is hardly any region in the world that escapes the activities of Sex Slavery syndicates. Trafficking in Women is reported in Africa, Europe, North America, South Asia, and East and Southeast Asia: Brazil, India, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Philippines are also included.

In Japan, pornography is so pervasive, even Schoolchildren have access to comic books with pornographic contents. Sex magazines can be bought at vending machines.

Sexual slavery and sex tourism described above are fueled by an increasingly hedonistic culture glorifying pleasure, promoting promiscuous attitudes and behavior, and presenting pornography as another form of entertainment. Children at a young age are bombarded with sexual images and gestures.

This clumsy promiscuous attitude has invaded all corners of the world. Pornographic material is becoming more accessible by the day to wider segments of humanity. Porno-producing companies use the Internet very effectively to publicize and promote even the most extreme forms of sexuality.

- Will the world hear the silent cry of sex slaves and end this human tragedy?

- Will the world reject the excesses of the entertainment industry riddled with sexual abuse and violence?

- Will the world reject the excesses of economic disparity and economic greed?

The freedom and dignity of millions of Children now and in the future hinge on how the above questions are answered.
