Trafficking within the country was also a problem. Of the 405 trafficking
victims registered in 2004, 51 were living in the country at the time they
were seduced into prostitution by so-called lover boys, primarily young
Moroccan or Turkish men and boys. The victims were young, mostly immigrant
women. In January the government set up the national expertise center for
youth prostitution to collect figures, background information, and the best practices
in fighting youth prostitution and lover boys. Various organizations and
local governments initiated specific assistance and prevention programs for
potential victims of "lover boys." Concluding

orphanages to work in the drug trade and as prostitutes. The children are
also believed to have been taken from asylum centres

22 Nigerians were detained in Nigeria, various European countries and the US. Last Wednesday [May 31], a paedophile political party was launched in The

Fifth Report on implementation of the Agenda for Action [DOC] [B]
COUNTRY UPDATES – Report
by Special Rapporteur [DOC] [58] Sale, prostitution and
pornography involving children are illegal, and children are not criminalized
where they are the victims. Particularly problematic are
“loverboys” - young perpetrators in their late teens and early twenties who
seduce young women into prostitution. Trafficking involving
unaccompanied minors seeking asylum is increasing. Victims of
trafficking are mainly women from non-EU countries, but Dutch women and men
are also among the victims. Very little attention is paid to boy
victims of trafficking, and there is a lack of data as to the extent of all
these problems. Although legislation is reportedly good, there is
a lack of technical and human capacity within the law enforcement sector to
deal with increased number of reported cases. Child
Prostitution in the Netherlands The number of Dutch children
working in prostitution has increased dramatically over the past five years:
from 4,000 to 15,000 according to figures published by the Amsterdam-based
ChildRight organization. Tighter

Unaccompanied Minors Seeking Asylum; 2. Child sexual abuse for the child pornography industry; 3. Young boys; 4. Teenage `romance'; 5. Individual situations. Report on the Sexual Exploitation of Children CHILD
PROSTITUTION IN THE Report
Of The Special Rapporteur On The Sale Of Children, Child Prostitution [120] Girls are most commonly
seduced into prostitution by a lover, but boys are used to get other boys
involved, usually through stories of the money that can be made by such
activity. The Special Rapporteur was advised that male entry into
prostitution was more organized, with several individuals working to coerce
the boy, whereas usually just one man would coerce a girl into these
activities. [121] Non-governmental sources
reported that most of the boys have the same background of physical and sexual
abuse, and many doubt their own sexuality. Virtually all are in drug-related
activities. [122] In Amsterdam and ECPAT's 4th Report on Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children One
in 12 children forced into world's 'worst forms' of labor UNICEF UK said that 350 million
children aged five to 17 worked, and that 180 million of them were
"involved in the worst forms of child labour
-- hazardous work, slavery, forced labor, in armed
forces, commercial sexual exploitation and illicit activities". UNICEF UK lauded the pledge of
developed countries, made more than 30 years ago, of allocating 0.7 percent
of gross domestic product to development aid but regretted that only five
countries today fulfill that promise -- Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Sweden. All material used herein
