Title : Questions & Answers about the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
Author :ECPAT International
Date : 1 / 10 / 2006

The primary, interrelated forms of commercial sexual exploitation of children – often referred to as CSEC – are prostitution of children, child pornography and trafficking of children for sexual purposes. Other forms include child sex tourism, and in some cases, child marriage. Children can also be commercially sexually exploited in other, less obvious ways, such as through domestic servitude or bonded labour. In these cases, a child is contracted to provide work but the employer believes that the child can also be used for sexual purposes.

Title : Semantics or Substance?
Author :NGO Group for the CRC (Definitions contributed by ECPAT International)
Date : 10 / 1 / 2005

Child sex tourism, paedophilia, incest, child sexual abuse – these terms are well-known to many of us working to promote the rights of children and to protect them from violation. ese terms, however, are often used interchangeably and inappropriately to define what are in fact very specific acts. As governments, United Nations agencies and non-governmental organisations working to prevent sexual violence against children and to assist those children who have been violated, it is important that we understand clearly what we are talking about when we use terms such as these.
