were engaged in forced prostitution. TRAFFICKING
IN PERSONS – The
country was primarily a source for the trafficking of women and girls for the
purpose of sexual exploitation
and men for labor. There were no reliable statistics on the extent of the
problem, although NGOs reported labor trafficking was much more prevalent
than trafficking for sexual
exploitation, and was likely rising due to poor economic conditions. Concluding Observations Of The Committee On The Rights Of

government on a range of activities to implement the Convention on the Rights
of the Child (CRC) and improve Child Rights. The first report on the CRC

rights committee and an NGO coalition was formed in accordance with the
recommendations of the CRC Committee to promote and strengthen implementation
of the CRC. Other initiatives have included: • Policies to counter child
prostitution, child pornography and assault on children. Lost Children of Institute for War and Peace Reporting, January 28, 2004 www.essex.ac.uk/armedcon/story_id/000170.doc [accessed 8 August 2011] VULNERABLE

support child victims of CSE? In Uzbekistan, many children that
have been sexually exploited are reluctant to tell others, as they fear
revenge from their employers and also the indifference of state officials.
According to the Uzbek law, young girls who have been forced into
prostitution can themselves be prosecuted. Furthermore public condemnation of
victims hinders any serious efforts toward recovery and reintegration. - Legal Aid All material used herein
