Abstract

This study chronicles one of poverty's most egregious outcomes—child prostitution. Rather than share sanitized descriptions of this condition from agency surveys and final reports from non-governmental organizations, this study investigates child prostitution through the voices of children themselves. Through the words of children interviewed, we learn how these children became entangled in this deadly profession, the impact it has had on their lives, and how well-intentioned agencies working on this issue might be more effective. Most poignantly, however, we learn of these children's hopes for a better life. Implications with particular focus upon education conclude this article.
