AND NATURE OF CHILD LABOR - Reports indicate a rise in the number of children engaged in
commercial sexual exploitation, pornography and drug trafficking in urban
areas. Children working as domestic servants are often invisible and, for
this reason, also vulnerable to exploitation. Bur of Democracy,

Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 TRAFFICKING
IN PERSONS –
Traffickers targeted young women in their teens and 20s for sexual
exploitation. Adolescents raised in orphanages, regardless
of gender, and residents of rural and economically disadvantaged areas were
particularly vulnerable to being trafficked. The country's relative
prosperity otherwise served as a factor against citizens being trafficked
through seeking employment abroad. During the year an orphanage director in
the southern part of the country was caught attempting to traffic teenage
girls to the UAE. The highly publicized case remained ongoing at year's end. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 2003 [72] The Committee is concerned
at: (a) The growing involvement of
children in the sex industry and the apparent indifference of society towards
the issue of child prostitution, including reports of parents themselves
reportedly forcing their children to earn money through prostitution; (b) The lack of specialized
centers to accommodate and provide qualified services, including
psychotherapeutic and rehabilitation and reintegration programs, for child
victims of sexual violence. Report
by Special Rapporteur [DOC] [49] The sale of children and
enticing children into prostitution are criminal offences. In the
first nine months of 2002, one man and four women were prosecuted under
article 133 of the Criminal Code for trafficking in minors. In the
same period, 71 persons were prosecuted under article 132 for enticing minors
into prostitution, vagrancy or begging. In one reported case, a woman ran a
coordinated criminal organization procuring and enticing minors into
prostitution. On 27 April 2001 the Taraz
city court sentenced her to four years’ imprisonment. In all such
cases the minor is not held criminally liable, and the Supreme Court of
Kazakhstan has standard rules on judicial practice in cases involving
offences by minors to ensure the safeguarding of their rights. Minors may be
taken into custody as a preventive measure or detained where they have
committed a serious offence. National
