In Asia more than half of the working prostitutes are under the age of 16, many of those are under the age of ten. Most people who hear the staggering statistics, just like me, ask why. There are many answers, and none of them could possibly justify the sexual exploitation of children. Many tourists and locals for that matter think that children will be less likely to carry the AIDS virus, which is a misconception. It is estimated that 72.4% of the child prostitutes in Asia carry HIV. Many Asian men also believe that sex with a virgin will rejuvenate them, and that sex with a virgin will cure venereal disease.

Most probably these girls will never escape. Police and politicians are all in on the child sex trade in some degree or another. Because the economy is so bad in most of rural Asia children will continue to be sold as sex slaves, and politicians will continue to hide it, all for the love of the almighty dollar.
