  • Child Trafficking & Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
    REPORT 1 Table of Contents Page No. Executive Summary 3 Report of Proceedings 6 Conclusion & Summary of 19 Observations and Recommendations Annexures 25 2 Executive Summary Child Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) are violations of the fundamental rights of children to be safe and are in contravention to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).1 The exact numbers of victims of child trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation are unknown, although estimates range into millions. The interaction of poverty and gender-based violence in developing countries heightens the risk of sex trafficking and CSEC. Medical evaluation in CSEC and sex trafficking is an emerging area of research and practice and few healthcare settings have established screening practices, policies and protocols2. There is limited information available to paediatricians and allied health professionals on how to protect trafficked and vulnerable children. Evaluations of CSEC victims may be challenging. Children are rarely forthcoming about their actual history and it requires patience and a secure environment to gain their trust. Knowledge of risk factors, recruitment practices, and common medical and mental health problems experienced by victims will help the paediatricians recognise potential victims and respond appropriately. In addition, all medical and multidisciplinary professionals must comply with child abuse mandatory reporting laws and existing legislation in their regions/country3 . A one day consultation on the issue of Child Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC): Medical and Psychosocial Services for Victims” was held on 13 October, 2016 at the India International Centre, Lodi Estate, New Delhi. The consultation aimed to help professionals, coming in contact with survivors/victims of child sexual abuse, get a better understanding of the issue of CSA and equip them with information to prevent and respond to victims of sexual abuse.
