Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Natural disasters, including earthquakes, droughts, floods and tidal waves, cause major population movements, destroy infrastructure and worsen people's living conditions. Women and children are particularly affected. Children who are separated from their families as well as accompanied children, especially in households that are themselves headed by children, no longer possess any official documents and are inevitably at greater risk of economic and sexual exploitation as well as of being sold for illegal adoption.

Paragraph
Sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism 2013, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- Risk factors linked to the environment include the lack of understanding and respect for human rights (women and children in particular), dependency on international tourism as income source, the high number of vulnerable children and consumerism. These factors create a foundation for this type of abuse. More specific risk factors include the demand (including from locals), existing infrastructure providing sexual services, weakness or insufficiency of national legislation regarding the prohibition and prevention of and the protection of children from all forms of sexual exploitation (including CST). The fact that extraterritoriality is not established, the lack of prosecutions because of corruption and impunity and the low pay and lack of training of police also have a negative impact. The weakness or insufficient regulation and monitoring of travel and tourism, the lack of involvement of tourism and travel services, the fear of HIV/AIDS, weak legal frameworks, implicit social tolerance on the issue and the existence of criminal networks also considerably increase the risks of sexual exploitation of children.
