	ELCA Message on Commercial Sexual Exploitation
		Commercial sexual exploitation is widespread throughout the United States and around the world, and it continues to grow.
		Commercial sexual exploitation of children and youth is pervasive.
		Much of the system of sexual exploitation arises from and reinforces culture’s deeply ingrained attitudes and power patterns that assume that women and children are not fully or equally human, and are meant to be subservient to others.

	DACA Child Sexual Exploitation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The commercial sexual exploitation of children constitutes a form of coercion and violence against children, and amounts to forced labour and a contemporary form of slavery.
		Children are even more vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases than adults, including HIV infection and AIDS, as their body tissues are more easily damaged.
		Children who are exploited are often not in a position to negotiate safe sex; furthermore, many lack access to education about AIDS and safe sex practices.

	CSEC Definitions: Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC)
		In particular, governments have committed to safeguarding children from all forms of abuse and exploitation, as well as upholding their rights to health and protection from harmful traditional practices, which include child marriages.
		Even as the practice of child marriage exposes children, especially immature girls, to the physical and psychological harm that comes with sexual abuse and exploitation, the legal codes of many countries allow for the reclassification of married children as adults.
		Where the marriage of children aged under 18 is permitted by a national legal code, without regard for whether young people have the opportunity and means to give full and informed consent, that country is violating its commitment to the Convention.

		Children and youth who are already disposable—kicked out of their homes, or runaways due to previous or ongoing abuse, turned away by many of the very agencies that were set up to protect them in the first place—gravitate inexorably to the streets and its attendant well-documented dangers.
		The connection between predators, drugs, violence, and sexual exploitation conspires to ensnare our lonely and frightened children, and the injury is compounded by the cruel insult of the community's subsequent rejection of them.
		One of the keys is to educate everyone—schools, businesses, community centres, government ministries, parents, children and youth—on the dangers, and to acknowledge that in order to move forward, we have to collectively take a deep breath, stare into the mirror that is Canada, and flinch no more.
