THE MAIN CAUSES OF PROSTITUTION IN CHAD - Prostitution increased considerably during the civil
war, which lasted from 1979 to 1982. Unfavorable socio-economic factors
affected the lives of most Chadians. The situation
was worse depending on the size of a family, pushing fathers to neglect their
duties. Unable to cope with their failure to meet basic needs, many fathers
turned away from their parental responsibilities and left children to the
streets. Boys became street children, known in Protection Project - The www.protectionproject.org/human_rights_reports/report_documents/chad.doc [accessed 2009] FORMS OF TRAFFICKING - It is difficult to measure the

REINTEGRATION - THE MIDDLE EAST AND In Chad, UNICEF has developed a
project for children in need of special protection. One project
component has been developed with the particular aim of providing protection
and psychological rehabilitation to CSEC victims. The project is planned for
an initial 3-year period of time. An educational program has been
developed, together with the Chadian Ministry of Social Affairs, specifically
for officials that come in contact with children, including CSEC victims, to
work for the child’s protection. Paul Brown, environment correspondent, The Guardian, 27
September 2002 www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2002/sep/27/internationalnews [accessed 13 September 2011] A coalition of environment,
religious and development groups have produced two reports showing that so
far the construction of the pipeline has damaged the interests of people
along its entire length: water supplies have been damaged, pygmies have lost
hunting lands, farmers have lost land and crops and an influx of immigrant
workers has brought child prostitution and spread AIDS. All material used herein
