CHILD PROSTITUTION
A RESPONSE TO POVERTY
Buenos Aires is one the world's premier sex trade destinations for homosexual and heterosexual clients.
Argentina is a destination country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of sexual and labour exploitation. Most victims are trafficked internally, from rural to urban areas, for exploitation in prostitution.
Argentine women and girls are trafficked to neighbouring countries for sexual exploitation.
Foreign women & children are trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation, primarily from Paraguay, but also from Bolivia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Chile. Bolivians are trafficked for forced labour.
In the areas of Ezpeleta and Quilmes one of the places where Compassion Direct UK is working children as young as 7 years of age sell their bodies for a few Pesos (5.oo to the UK £1) Prior to a young and dangerous life 'on the game' they will probably have been cleaning houses for wealthy families.
