About Girl’s Rights
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child decrees that all children are equal and should be given the same chances in life. Still, girls are often treated worse than boys. They are discriminated against for two reasons: because they are children and because they are girls!
About the Child Sex Trade
The child sex trade is whenever a child is exploited sexually by a perpetrator, usually an adult, who pays for it in money, gifts or services. Examples of gifts are food and clothing. A service could be a promise of protection or better grades. The child sex trade is different from other sexual abuse of children, because there is some form of payment involved. It is also called ‘commercial sexual exploitation of children’.
