Report of the Special Rapporteur on the Sale of Children, Child
Prostitution & Child Pornography, Najat Maalla M’jid
IV. Conclusions
and Recommendations
A. Conclusions
114. Changes in the nature and extent of the sale and sexual
exploitation of children reveal preoccupying trends. Even though this issue has
gained increased visibility over the past years, thanks to the joint efforts of
numerous stakeholders, millions of children worldwide are still victims of
sexual exploitation today and have their childhood stolen. The phenomenon has
developed and become increasingly complex. Risk factors are growing and
multiplying. The social tolerance for these crimes, impunity, corruption and
precarious socioeconomic situations remain among the most challenging obstacles
to overcome in combating this scourge. Strategies aimed at preventing and
combating the phenomenon need to be constantly reviewed in the light of renewed
challenges and emerging threats. Importantly, such strategies can only be
effective if they tackle the multidimensional nature of the problem in a
comprehensive and holistic manner. This requires multidisciplinary approaches
bridging various parts of policymaking and tackling the broader environment
that can either protect children or make them more vulnerable. It also calls
for increased coordination among actors at the local, national, regional and
global levels.
