Using children as a commodity for sex trade

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward" Psalm 127: 3

One of the things that I can never fathom is when the world became so corrupt that we have people paying to sleep with children. Is it only me but does the thought of it make anyone else feel murderous angry just to think of it.

I set out to establish how widespread this evil is prevalent in the world and I have been surprised at what I found. With the advent of the internet and easy availability of pornography this evil has reached a scaring level for people to ignore.

My research shows that cases of child prostitution prevail in all countries because of the demand. Most of the victims come from poor families or have parents who are absent physically or emotionally. Those who willing chose to sell their bodies have a history of molestation and they feel like they have lost ownership over their body. They therefore use their body as a commodity. But the worst are those that are kidnapped and trafficked as sex slaves to foreign countries.

In Africa, my focus was on kenya for personal reasons. I found that cases of prostitution have been reported in the coastal cities of Mombasa and Malindi. Kenya is known as a tourist destination and attracts Europeans from various Europeans countries.

Kenya it seems has also become an attraction for pedophilias. There are reports of “Mzungus” (White men) paying girls as young as 9 years to have sex with them. Boys too have been sodomized by these men. All the victims come from poor families in the villages nearby.

Although there are laws against such crimes these people seem to get away with it because they take off before they are arrested. Another thing is that perhaps Kenya has not developed a branch of the police which can deal with these crimes. But now that people are talking about it maybe things will change.
