CONAETI worked with unions and other groups to train rural child labor
monitors, and with provincial authorities in the tri-border area with Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 2002 [60] The Committee is concerned
that the phenomenon of child prostitution, especially in big cities, is
increasing. It further notes that, although a National Plan of Action to
Combat Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children was adopted in 2000,
coordinated policies and programs on this issue have yet to be formulated. ECPAT: Fifth Report on implementation of the Agenda for

of children and adolescents to recognize situations where they are at risk of
commercial sexual exploitation; legislation and legal procedures; and
research. Within each area of action, there are specific objectives and
activities. Report

[PDF] MEET A CHILD - Fernanda
Aguirre, age 13, was kidnapped into forced prostitution in Argentina, in July
2004 in San Benito, a town in the Northeastern province of Entre Rios. Fernanda's mother
has come across evidence that her daughter fell into the hands of a
prostitution ring. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $600. Although the
ransom was paid, Fernanda never reappeared. CHILD PROSTITUTION - Child and adolescent victims
(of varying ages) of commercial sexual exploitation have been found within
overt spaces for commercial sex: streets, service stations, plazas, and
parks. Victims of CSEC have also been
found within covert spaces for commercial sex such as: saunas, brothels,
whiskey bars, massage parlours, etc, within each of
the cities studied by UNICEF. Child Prostitution in www.ecpat.net/eng/Ecpat_inter/IRC/articles.asp?articleID=212&NewsID=24 At one time this article had been
archived and may possibly still be accessible [here] Research undertaken for UNICEF
Argentina has revealed an increase in the extent of child and adolescent
prostitution in the country. While quantitative data remains elusive, the
research concludes that the presence of young persons in the prostitution
‘circuit’ is not insignificant or merely isolated cases. The Ashgate
