Ecuador is a source, transit, and destination country for
men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual
exploitation and forced labor. The majority of trafficking victims are
believed to be children trafficked within the country from border and central
highland areas to urban centers for commercial sexual exploitation as well as
for domestic servitude, forced begging, and forced labor in mines and other
hazardous work. - U.S. State Dept

IN PERSONS –
Anecdotal evidence showed that traffickers lured young victims romantically
or with promises of dignified employment and then forced them into
prostitution. Some poverty-stricken parents also sold their children,
wittingly or unwittingly, into prostitution or forced labor in agriculture,
including banana plantations, or mines. Anecdotal evidence indicated that
some of those willing to pay up to $12 thousand to be smuggled out of the
country were also victims of trafficking, and women were susceptible to
sexual abuse by smugglers. Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of
the Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 3 June 2005 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/ecuador2005.html [accessed 3 February 2011] [69] The Committee takes note with
appreciation of the considerable efforts undertaken by the State party, and
the various studies conducted by different institutions regarding the issue
of sexual exploitation and trafficking of children, as reported by the State
party. The Committee expresses its deep concern at the high number of
children involved in commercial sexual exploitation and at the insufficient
measures adopted by the State party in this regard. Smuggled Women, Modern Slaves, Tell Their Tales in Daniela Gerson, The www.nysun.com/new-york/smuggled-women-modern-slaves-tell-their-tales/13991/ [accessed 3 February 2011] Just weeks ago, the women said,
