Abstract:
It is no longer a secret that there are children working as prostitutes
in the brothels in Thailand, however it is still a problem. The poverty
that ails Thailand has reached such extremes that parents are selling their
own children into the business and others are going willingly simply to
avoid starvation. There is an ongoing debate over whether or not the government
in Thailand is ignoring the issue or not. The truth is that prostitution
brings in a lot of money for the country, money that they are desperately
in need of. The children have become victims in the situation because of
the HIV and AIDS crisis. Clients of the prostitutes are creating a demand
for younger and younger children in an effort to avoid potential prostitutes
that may have contracted the disease previously. This paper will also research
what is being done to stop the sale of children, such as educating them
about the dangers of prostitution.
