problem. During the year the police reported that, due to the imposition of
severe penalties for rape and sexual exploitation of minors, the reported
incidence of child prostitution sharply declined. According to the police,
previous estimates that 12 to 15 percent of prostitutes were between the ages
of 8 and 18 were exaggerated and during the year noted that there were only a
few reported cases. Nevertheless, legal protections for offenses committed
against children were rarely enforced in the case of child prostitutes. Concluding

concern that prostitution is rapidly spreading among minors and that the only
rehabilitation programs available are short term. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report on implementation
