ARCHIVES *** www.ecpat.net/A4A_2005/PDF/Europe/Global_Monitoring_Report-GERMANY.pdf Germany has been noted as a
destination country for trafficking in children for sexual purposes, although
data collection on the problem remains limited. Most children who enter
Germany in this way are Eastern European girls smuggled to brothels through
prostitution rings, deceived by false promises of a job, vocational training
or a holiday trip. They are usually recruited in their countries of origin,
in particular Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, but also Nigeria, Brazil and
some Caribbean countries. Once in Germany, the traffickers try to pass the
girls off as adults. A number of unaccompanied minors (UAM) trafficked to the
country and cared for at reception centres and
youth care facilities have also disappeared from these centres
and have reportedly been forced to work as prostitutes. In other cases,
children are trafficked for the production of pornographic materials. Bur of Democracy,
Human Rights & Labor - Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 CHILDREN - Street children frequently turned to prostitution for income. The government amply funded programs to
combat the sale of children, child prostitution,
child pornography, trafficking of children, and child-sex tourism Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 2004 [56] The Committee welcomes the
adoption of the Plan of Action of the Federal Government for the Protection
of Children and Young People from Sexual Violence and Exploitation (January
2003), but remains concerned at the various ages retained in the Criminal
Code depending on the offence committed by an adult against a child. Heavy
petting could leave teen couples at the mercy of child prostitution law The new law reduces the minimum
age at which sexual offenders can be prosecuted from 18 to 14, and raises the
maximum age at which a victim is entitled to legal protection from 16 to 18.
The idea is to stop the recruitment of minors as prostitutes by other minors
— pimps in big cities are often 17 or younger — but the initiative is a legal
minefield. ECPAT: Fifth Report on implementation of the Agenda for

from Publication:
Children in street prostitution. Report from the German-Czech border The report is the result of years
of systematic observations, discussions and interviews. The author has an
in-depth insight into the prostitution and drug scene along the German-Czech
border through her work with the social project KARO. Her report gives, for
the first time, a detailed picture of the commercial sexual exploitation of
children in this region, heavily frequented by German tourists. It shows the
scale of the business and the conditions in which its victims live. The
conclusions are harrowing: In the German-Czech border region, a flourishing
commerce in child sexual exploitation has developed. Written
