IN PERSONS -
Trafficked children were subject to violence, sexual abuse, forced
prostitution, and deprivation of food, shelter, schooling, and medical care.
Organized child trafficking networks existed throughout the country, and
during the year security forces dismantled four such networks. Child
trafficking networks cooperated with regional smuggling rings. According to the 2004-05 report by
the Protection of Infants and Adolescents office, security forces intercepted
921 trafficked children, more than half of whom were girls; 158 were destined
for international trafficking. Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of

about the increasing number of child victims of commercial sexual exploitation,
including prostitution and pornography. Concern is also expressed at the
insufficient programs for the physical and psychological recovery and social
reintegration of child victims of such abuse and exploitation. Child slavery in Burkina Faso, including boy domestic

RESPONSE - Regarding
awareness of the Convention, a representative said the country had
popularized it, distributed it throughout governmental structures, and was
working on translating it. A monitoring process had been established,
and efforts made to ensure that the Convention was understood. As for
trafficking, she knew of no child prostitution in the country. Identifying Gaps in Protection Capacity David McKeever, Consultant, UN

families, refugee women and girls are often exposed to the risk of
exploitation and/or prostitution. When looking for work, and even when they
manage to find paid employment, refugee women are exposed to the risk of
sexual exploitation and harassment. Those who do not find work are sometimes
forced into prostitution. ECPAT: Trafficking in Children for Sexual Purposes ECPAT International Newsletter, Issue No : 33 1/December/2000 At one time this article had been archived and may
