Terminology guidelines for the protection of children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse

Abstract

"This document provides guidance for individuals and agencies working for the prevention and elimination of all forms of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of children on understanding and using the different terms and concepts they may encounter in their work. It is the product of an international working group of government and non-government agencies which was established to engender more clarity in the conceptualisation, definition, and translation of this issue, and so enhance prevention and protection efforts. Definitions covers sexual violence against children, child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, prostitution, child pornography and child sexual abuse material, sexting, solicitation, sex tourism, trafficking and sale of children, child marriage, slavery and child labour, and victims and perpetrators."<br/ >from Trove<br/ ><br/ >Creative Commons
