Abstract
The article describes and discusses representations of street children and child and youth prostitution disseminated through literature and by the international and Brazilian media during the 1980s and 1990s. The analysis of the images of child and youth prostitution is centred in particular on the journalistic use of a photo from 1992 that represents a Brazilian adolescent put up for sale. The article shows how the dissemination of images that stigmatize the poor is caused by, among other factors, the need of the media and of modern philanthropy to make an impact on the public.
