- Other practices such as forced marriage that are in effect in certain parts of the world can be considered "sale for purposes of sexual exploitation". One manifestation of this, among others, is that young girls are given as wives to men - often older men - in exchange for money.

Paragraph
Comprehensive prevention strategies against sale and sexual exploitation of children 2013, para. 48
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- Underlying attitudes about male entitlement and masculinity can foster the perverse notion that it is acceptable for men to sexually exploit children, either in their own countries or abroad. Such attitudes are further reinforced when buying sex from a child is socially acceptable and entails neither social stigma nor serious legal punishment.

- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- There is often confusion between sexual exploitation and sexual abuse, particularly when they occur within the family. In the context of the Optional Protocol, sexual exploitation covers the use, recruitment or offer of a child for purposes of prostitution or pornographic material or performances. Forced and early marriage can be considered a form of sale for the purpose of sexual exploitation. One manifestation of this is the offering of young girls as wives to men - often older men - in exchange for money.

- Most important, however, is the demand for sex with children. Those who support the exploitation of children include men from industrialized and developing countries who keep traffickers and exploiters in business through their demand for and purchase and exploitation of children. This topic will be the specific focus of the next thematic report of the Special Rapporteur.

- Paragraph text
- It must not be forgotten that boys are also victims of abuse and sexual exploitation. Poverty, lack of opportunities and the development of sex tourism are the main causes. Where the latter is concerned, some foreign predators, both men and women, are interested solely in sexual relations with boys. There is still a strong taboo surrounding the subject of prostitution of boys, especially where homosexual relations are concerned. In some countries where homosexuality is an offence, a sexually exploited boy under 18 may be punished by law for homosexual relations.

Paragraph
Tackling the demand for the sexual exploitation of children 2016, para. 35
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- The most common providers of children for sexual exploitation are facilitators, who can range from procurers to traffickers and intermediaries, and include financial actors. Such individuals are not always part of criminal networks. Procurers are generally called by their vernacular name, such as "pimp" in English. They are the ones who identify the children and force them into sexual exploitation. Grooming is an essential part of the process. The aim is to entrap the children into a life of sexual servitude and manipulate them at will through extreme methods ranging from physical and psychological abuse to the provision of drugs and alcohol. The demography of procurers is diverse. Though most of them are men, there is a significant presence of women among procurers. There have also been cases of peer driven exploitation. There is also a substantial number of cases of parents and/or family members pushing their children into sexual exploitation in order to provide the family with supplementary income.

Tackling the demand for the sexual exploitation of children 2016, para. 30
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- In all of the above-mentioned offender categories, the majority of perpetrators are men; there is only anecdotal evidence of female offenders. Law enforcement data has consistently identified female offenders in the developed world, but without clearly classifying their crime. A 2005 study indicated that women accounted for up to five per cent of all sexual offences against children. The exact traits and motivations of female offenders are still the subject of numerous discussions and further research is required. They have generally been identified in cases of child abuse, and in respect to child sexual exploitation have fulfilled the role of accomplices to male offenders. Female offenders are indeed much more likely to act with a male offender. Comprehensive and updated data at the global level is nonetheless lacking. This is partly owing to pre-existing social constructs that have led to underreporting, since in most societies it has often been considered unimaginable for women to be sex offenders.
