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) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 4 October 2002 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/israel2002.html [accessed 28 February 2011] [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. Suspect in Tel Aviv pedophile case ran child prostitution

2011] Police said Monday that the main
suspect used to stalk children and youths near clubs in Tel Aviv, such as the
TLV club at the Tel Aviv Port. When he detected youths with sexual-identity
issues he, "took them under his wing" and turned them into
prostitutes, a police source said, on the basis of gathered testimonies. He pimped the youths to pedophiles for NIS
200 at a time, the source said. The
police Monday confronted the Internet executive and the principle victim in
the case, who turned 17 Tuesday. Another minor, 14, told the detectives that
the executive had been sexually abusing him since he was 12 years old. 10% percent of Israeli prostitutes are minors Ruth Eglash, The www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=108698 [accessed 2 June
2011] The age of those being forced into
the sex industry is rapidly falling, with more than 1,000 out of the
estimated 10,000 prostitutes in These figures, which are based on
the findings of numerous non-governmental and official sources, were
presented Wednesday at a special session of the Knesset Sub-Committee on
Human Trafficking - headed by Meretz MK Zehava Gal-On - focusing on a new Education Ministry
initiative aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of the sex industry in
general and human trafficking in particular among school-age children. TFHT's report also noted a new trend of 13 and 14 year
olds frequenting prostitutes. Earlier in the session, the
minister had referred to the rise in media reports of children, some as young
as 11 or 12, using cellphones to capture graphic
sexual incidents on camera and stories of teens pimping out their peers for
cash. Tamir said that the goal of the program,
which started work six months ago, was to combat such incidents and to
provide teachers with the educational tools to raise awareness of right and
wrong among teens. Israeli Project Aids Teens, Young Prostitutes Brenda Gazzar, Womens enews WeNews, January 6, 2006 [accessed 2 June

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

2011] 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 Zvi Zrahiya
