The Consortium for Street Children’s (CSC) has recently prepared a submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, child pornography, and other child sexual abuse material. Given the particular vulnerability of street children to sale and sexual exploitation, as recognized by the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in its General Comment No. 21 on children in street situations, this submission aims to highlight some of the key information which should be considered by the Special Rapporteur in view of the preparation of Ms. Maud de Boer-Buquicchio’s final thematic report to the 43rd session of the Human Rights Council Looking Back, Looking Forward.
With thanks to the organisations StreetInvest, Keep Your Shoes Dirty, Glad’s House, Save the Street Children Uganda, Bridge Builders Uganda and S.A.L.V.E International for contributing their perspectives for this submission.
