Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 CHILDREN - In February 2004 ELEM, an NGO
that assists troubled youth, estimated that more than a thousand women
younger than age 18 worked as prostitutes. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 2002 [60] The Committee notes the
establishment of an inter-ministerial and inter-organizational committee to
combat the commercial sexual exploitation of minors, its activities, and the
involvement of non-governmental organizations in this area. However, the Committee
is concerned that these and other efforts have so far had a limited impact. Israeli
Project Aids Teens, Young Prostitutes Natalee didn't realize it then, but Fridman directs a therapeutic rehabilitation program for
adolescents engaged in prostitution run by the nonprofit organization, Elem Youth in Distress in Israel. Her Tel Aviv-based
program, Awake at Night, offers a supportive day center, a hot line,
community outreach, medical care and close contact with mentors and

Fifth Report on implementation of the Agenda for Action [DOC] [B]
COUNTRY UPDATES – ISRAEL – The Israeli Association for Social Care, Health and the Solution of
Conflict (IASC) has developed a project in which workers are trained to
counsel street children, many of whom are involved in prostitution. However,
IASC experienced some official administrative as well as financial problems
in the implementation of this project.
Another major project has been implemented by the organization
ELEM-Youth. In January 2001 the pilot project “They Too Have a Right to
Blossom” officially began. In addition to learning about CSEC, which is the
primary focus of the program at this point, ELEM has identified children who
are currently involved in prostitution, and begun the process of assisting
them through referrals to community based youth services for treatment. Mothers
pimping their daughters for food Down-and-out women come to the
Beer Sheva market late at night to scrounge for some pumpkin or marrow.
Lacking shekels, they offer an alternative form of payment, their teenage
daughters. After providing sexual services in some dark alley, daughters and
mothers disappear into the night laden with parcels of produce. Panel
Hears Grim Details On Child Prostitution In Israel Over 1,000 minors around the
country are involved in prostitution, with their parent's encouragement, the Knesset
Labor and Welfare Committee heard Monday. Dorit Brightman of the ELEM Youth
in Distress non-profit organization told the committee that many of the
minors are forced into prostitution because of the dire economic situation,
and some have even died as a result. 5.1
