the National Program against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Sexual
Abuse of Children of 2000, expresses its deep concern at the lack of data,
consistent policies, rehabilitation and reintegration programs, and the
reports of disappearances of minors, in particular girls, allegedly for
trafficking purposes. Further, it notes that procuring for the purpose of
prostitution is punished only in cases involving girls and that some legal
provisions result in the administrative punishment of children involved in
commercial sexual exploitation. Committee

that trafficking in women and children continues to be a problem in the State
party, which is a country of origin and transit, in spite of the existence of
the "Program on control and prevention of prostitution and commercial
trade in people for 2002-2004" and that the new Criminal Code provides
for criminal liability for a number of trafficking-related crimes, including
trade in people (art. 147), profiting from another person's prostitution
(art. 307), and procuring to prostitution (art. 308). Moreover, the Committee
regrets that the lack of information on the number of people trafficked does
not give an accurate picture of the extent of the problem. Press declaration at the World Social Forum 2004 in Mumbai

the use of children in prostitution and pornography are criminal offences
under the Criminal Code. A new Criminal Code also penalizing these offences
will enter into force on 1 May 2003. In the first nine months of
2002, two criminal offences involving the trafficking of children were
registered, five criminal cases involving children in prostitution and one
criminal case of using a child for the purpose of developing and distributing
pornography were registered. Children do not incur any criminal
liability as a result of their involvement; however, earning one’s living
from prostitution is an administrative offence and liability is incurred by
children over 16. During the first nine months of 2002, 18 such cases were
reported. A National Program against Commercial Sexual
Exploitation and Sexual Abuse of Children was approved by the Government in
2000, which provides for in-service training of police officers and
preparation of methodological materials concerning the interviewing of
sexually abused children. Crossing Borders: The Trafficking of Children into the ECPAT www.docstoc.com/docs/38950516/The-global-phenomenon-of-trafficking-in-persons---the-illegal-and [partially accessed 14 June 2011 - access restricted] The story of Elena, a 15-year-old
