WHAT
DO THESE WORDS REALLY MEAN?
Trafficking
in Persons
Trafficking is when persons, especially women and children,
are enticed or forced into being taken from one part
of their own country to another, or from their homeland
to another country, where they are forced to work, usually
in prostitution. In some cases children's body organs
(heart, liver, kidneys, for example) are surgically
removed and sold.
Prostitution
Prostitution is an activity in which people sell sexual
favours for money.
PROSTITUTION IS ILLEGAL IN JAMAICA
Child
Prostitution
It is usually women and men who are involved in prostitution,
but many children, some as young as 8 and 9 years old,
are being forced into prostitution. This is called CHILD
PROSTITUTION. IT IS ILLEGAL. Many youngsters are lured
into prostitution when they start working as dancers
in go-go clubs or massage parlours.
Exploitation
Selling or using a person for your own profit. This
is a violation of the person's human rights. Exploitation
is at the heart of trafficking in persons. Some forms
of exploitation include:
- Sexual

parlours, saunas, call-girl agencies
