that there has been no regional consensus on defining CSEC in law; in some
countries, for example, it is looked upon as an indecent act, in others as
rape, although in all 20 countries there is some section of the penal code
that can be invoked against sexual abuse and exploitation. Report on the Worst Forms of Child Labour Compiled by the
