Sexually Abused And Sexually Exploited Children In The Greater Mekong Subregion A Qualitative Assessment Of Their Health Needs And Available Services

Addresses the urgent issue of sexual abuse & sexual exploitation of children & youth (C&Y) in the Greater Mekong River Subregion (Cambodia, Yunnan Province (China), Lao People's Dem. Rep. (Laos), Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, & Viet Nam). In addition to thriving cross-border trafficking networks, which lure or force C&Y into prostitution, C&Y are increasingly entering commercial sex work willingly,Ó unaware of the mental & physical consequences. Socio-economic & cultural factors make C&Y susceptible to sexual exploitation, such as lack of educ., family breakdown, lack of econ. opportun., traditional beliefs & poverty. C&Y are also at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.Mooy, Adrianus is the author of 'Sexually Abused And Sexually Exploited Children In The Greater Mekong Subregion A Qualitative Assessment Of Their Health Needs And Available Services', published 2000 under ISBN 9780756714086 and ISBN 0756714087.
