are a few unofficial homes for abused children nominally run by the Ministry
of Social Affairs and Labor. There are
credible reports that some caretakers abuse some of these children while they
are living in these homes, or that they are used for prostitution. The conditions in these homes are
reportedly very poor. Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of

Social, and Cultural Rights UN COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS CESCR,
Thirty-second session, 26 April-14 May 2004 – Distributed 7 June 2004 www.unhchr.ch/tbs/doc.nsf/%28Symbol%29/E.C.12.1.Add.98.En [accessed 29 August 2011] [41] The Committee recommends that
the State party take effective measures to combat trafficking in persons,
especially in women and children, by ensuring, inter alia,
that those responsible for trafficking are prosecuted, and to ratify the
Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially
Women and Children, of 2001. The Committee recommends that the State party
establish support services for victims of trafficking and take steps to
sensitize law enforcement officials and the general public to the gravity of
this issue. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report on implementation

however, a number of constraints that have hindered preparation of national
plans of action. In all the countries of the region, there is cultural
resistance to addressing the problem because the subject is largely taboo. Often the issue is dealt with more
generally under headings such as ‘violence’ and ‘trauma’. This means that there has been no regional
consensus on defining CSEC in law; in some countries, for example, it is
looked upon as an indecent act, in others as rape, although in all 20 countries
there is some section of the penal code that can be invoked against sexual
abuse and exploitation. All material used herein
