Bearing The Greatest Cost Of War STREET
CHILDREN - Separated
from their families and unable to rely on kinship networks, they tend to organize
into smaller groups with an older child protecting younger children, socially
isolated in ghettoized buildings. Many are orphaned or abandoned; some have
left starving families or abusive environments. For children, survival
requires washing cars, carrying water, scavenging in dustbins or prostituting
themselves. Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict [PDF] TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION - Child trafficking, prostitution, pornography, forced labor, sexual slavery and other forms of exploitation are believed to be rampant in Angola, in part due to the war-caused break down of social structures and traditional security mechanisms. ECPAT estimates that 3,000 children under the age of 18 are involved in prostitution for their survival and thousands more are sold for sex on the streets of Luanda. ECPAT also reports that relatives and guardians have allegedly forced minors into prostitution, especially children from rural areas. Some night club owners reportedly allow under-age girls into clubs for sexual exploitation by clients. Cases of sexual exploitation of children by military groups and foreign men in Angola are allegedly on the rise. Child
Prostitutes Brought to SA Child prostitution is flourishing in South Africa and syndicates are bringing thousands of children from Asiatic and African countries into the country to sell their bodies. A report compiled by UN officials who investigated child abuse, child rape and prostitution in South Africa claims that children were abducted or lured with false promises from Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Eastern Europe. PROSTITUTION - Many children have fled the conflict zones and now live in the coastal cities in overcrowded slums. In the capital Luanda, 16-year-old Maria and 15-year-old Lili, both of whom have small children, work as prostitutes to support their families. UNICEF:
