They pay with their childhood.
It costs them their dignity.
It takes away their health.
Selling children for sex.
Stop it. Now.

Each year, some one million children enter the sex trade, exploited by people or circumstances. The first World Congress Against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children, to be held in Stockholm, 27 - 31 August 1996, aims to put the issue of children being sold for sex firmly on the public agenda. It will bring together key players in the battle against commercial sexual exploitation of children, to share information, exchange experiences and best practice, and formulate national and regional strategies.
