the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 3 June 2005 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/ecuador2005.html [accessed 3 February 2011] [69] The Committee takes note with
appreciation of the considerable efforts undertaken by the State party, and
the various studies conducted by different institutions regarding the issue
of sexual exploitation and trafficking of children, as reported by the State
party. The Committee expresses its deep concern at the high number of
children involved in commercial sexual exploitation and at the insufficient
measures adopted by the State party in this regard. Concluding Observations of the Committee on Economic,
Social, and Cultural Rights International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural
Rights, 2004 www.acpd.ca/compilation/2006/05-icescr/5c.htm#ECUADOR [accessed 9 May 2011] [23] The Committee is deeply
concerned about the high incidence of sexual abuse, prostitution of girls and
boys under the age of 18 in urban areas, exploitation of children and the
lack of a comprehensive strategy to address these problems. [24] The Committee is concerned
about trafficking in minors, especially indigenous minors. The Protection Project - The www.protectionproject.org/human_rights_reports/report_documents/ecuador.doc [accessed 2009] FORMS OF TRAFFICKING - An estimated 5,200 girls and

SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN IN TOURISM - Investigations show that in 1999
every second child came from a family that was not able to pay for food,
housing, education, and medical care. As a consequence, these children do not
go to school, and 20.5% are forced to start work at ages between 5 and 9
years and 53% between 10 and 14 years. In a country that is struggling
against underemployment and employment, often the only opportunity to offer
itself is prostitution. They then become victims of exploitation by traffickers
and sex tourists. Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation Between Survivors' Rights International, July 17, 2003 At one time this article had been archived and may
