Provisions for Protection against Child Prostitution: A Study

Abstract

Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.” Jess Lair When children regularly engage in sexual behaviour for money or the advantage of others, this is referred to as child prostitution. These institutionalised arrangements continued, regular societal structures involve the sexual exploitation of children. Child prostitution is a particularly severe form of exploitative child labour as well as a severe form of sexual abuse of children. Due to the widespread lack of awareness towards the issue, child prostitution has not received enough attention in India despite being a major global concern. Children are stripped of their childhood, human rights, and dignity as a result of this long-standing issue. Child trafficking is one of the various ways that children are used as prostitutes. Studies on trafficking have focused on the forced migration of children for sex.
