Tackling the demand for the sexual exploitation of children 2016, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- In accordance with international law, the general practice is to sentence perpetrators of child sexual exploitation to imprisonment. As far as intermediaries are concerned, penalties vary and are not always commensurate with the gravity of the crime. The length of the deprivation of liberty also varies widely and can in particular be influenced by the age and gender of both the offender and the victim. Regrettably, significant loopholes remain and prevent the conviction of offenders and thus the assurance of accountability. This is the case, for example, for the sexual exploitation of boys or the possession of child sexual abuse material, which in several countries are yet to be criminalized.

Paragraph
Information and communication technologies and the sale and sexual exploitation of children 2015, para. 10
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur will adopt a child-centred approach in the implementation of her mandate. All activities will be developed incorporating the principles and rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children will be treated as rights holders, and not as passive recipients, victims or dependants. The Special Rapporteur will use child participation mechanisms to establish a direct relationship with children to take into account their suggestions in an effective and meaningful way. She will integrate a gender perspective into her work, taking into account the different needs and opportunities of boys and girls through, inter alia, the collection and analysis of disaggregated data and the proposal of gender-specific recommendations.
