An account of the many and varied ways in which children become involved in the sex trade, this work presents the global political and economic inequalities that underpin children's exploitation.
What can we learn from the tragedy of these exploited young people? In Thailand, a thriving sex industry makes its money exploiting the young. Some children are coerced into prostitution and some have been sold into sexual slavery by their own families, but just as tragically there is no shortage of young girls (and boys) willing to work as prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand: Listening to Rahab searches for the reasons why. This uniquely insightful book looks into the lives--and even more importantly, listens to the words--of ten Thai prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand is about what we can learn from them--who they are, what they go through, and why. In their own words, the...
This is the first book on child prostitution in 20th-century England to have been written, tracing the roots of a contemporary problem which has been the subject of increased publicity and concern. It uncovers a mass of new evidence to indicate the extent of the phenomenon from the late 19th century to the present day, arguing that child prostitution is a significant aspect of child abuse, and one of the clearest ways in which "deviant" groups can be conceived of as both victims and threats. The picture of child prostitution emerging from this book is one of exclusion from mainstream society and the law, and remoteness from the agencies set up to help young people in trouble which were often reluctant to accept the realities of child prostitution. Child prostitutes were not wholly victims, and motivations to enter prostitution have included, amongst other things, the desire for a level of income they are unable to obtain in other ways, and which provided a means of independence. Yet th

Child prostitution became one of the key concerns of the international community in the 1990s. World congresses were held, international and national laws were changed and concern over "cemmercially sexually exploited children" rose dramatically. Rarely, however, were the children who worked as prostitutes consulted of questioned in this process, and the voices of these children brought into focus. This book is the first to address the children directly, to examine their daily lives, their motivations and their perceptions of what they do. Based on 15 months of fieldwork in a Thai tourist community that survived through child prostitution, this book draws on anthropological theories on childhood and kinship to contextualize the experiences of this group of Thai child prostitutes and to contrast these with the stereotypes held of them by those outside their community.

Every year in Britain hundreds of children and young people are involved in prostitution. Children as young as ten are forced to sell their bodies to adults, sometimes for money, often in return for a bed for the night. Many have little choice; they are often homeless, having run away from home or local authority care, and have no money. Many have experienced abuse and family conflict.
In Calcutta's red light district over 7000 women and girls work as prostitutes. Only one group has lower standing: their children. In the face of abject poverty. Abuse, and despair, these kids have little possibility of escaping their mother's fate or creating another kind of life. In their award-winning documentary film, directors Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman chronicle the amazing transformation of the children they come to know in the red light district. Briski spent years with the children, and teaches them how to take pictures, gives them cameras igniting artistic genius. The images they take are observant and insightful; more importantly they reelect the morally empowering, politically volatile power of art as a liberating force.
