Child prostitution in Kenya has reached a shocking level. Extreme poverty and sex tourism lead to the sexual exploitation of children on a massive scale. RT Doc investigates what is being done about the problem and who profits from it.
According to a 2006 UNICEF report, one Kenyan child in three is involved in underage prostitution. It is a drastic situation caused by incredibly poor living conditions, with around 50% of the population below the poverty line. Sex tourism is flourishing and a major contributor to the sexual exploitation of minors, with Kenya among the top 5 world destinations for child abuse. Despite being illegal, child prostitution is very common, with kids as young as 8 or 9 being paid by adults to perform sex acts. It’s their only way to make a living.
Underage children can’t work legally in Kenya but many have to drop out of school because they can’t afford textbooks and school uniforms. Kids who have no one to care for them often end up in children’s homes where they are easy targets for abuse. At the same time, many NGOs, that are supposed to help children, are actually making money from the problem and doing nothing to solve it. In such dire conditions, a shocking number of children resort to prostitution to survive. They put their lives on the line every day as they are exposed to potential violence and life-threatening diseases.
While sex tourists take their guilty pleasures and many others profit from catering to their twisted appetites, children pay the ultimate price. Many underage sex workers have their own children at a very young age, continuing the vicious circle of kids born to extreme poverty and taking to prostitution to eat.
In this film, young prostitutes talk about what led them to the sex trade and why they can see no alternative. We also meet child protection representatives to find out what’s being done to help the victims and to combat child prostitution in Kenya.
That is fake documentary!
Is that the one a malasa in mombasa hires/ fakes other girls tu pretend ttgey are underage girls?
One can easy notice that the guy was conned by those kenyans.
I watched this and it’s heartbreaking. We need to embrace family planning and introduce sex education to kids at an earlier age than we do currently.
kuna dem wa 16 years nilinyandua two weeks ago . kitu tamu sana
Huko Hoe-land?
Hapo kwa stage ya Spanish niliona watoto wadogo sana, it really annoyed me.
None of these girls are under 18.
NONE!
Even he at one time says they ‘look older’. How does a 14-year old look older?
Kenyas main tourist attraction is prostitution, not wildlife and sandy beaches. I thought you should know. There are thousands of high end whores who make a killing from tourists and mostly hang around tourism sites and places with a high population of tourists
Spanish Nairobi or Coast.
I got hold of a clip of shiny eyed ladies grooming a clearly underage girl on how to be sexy for the mzungu. From dressing, posing, and other unmentionable stuff. Nothing was left. To make it worse, some parts were with the minor totally naked and playing sexy. I could post it here but we got laws against that. Huyo mtoto najua most pervs here would smash without remorse. It’s sad that the mzungu will get some of our best lands, sleep in our best hotels, drink our best coffee, fuck our model like women, and to rub it in, fcuk our barely legals.
I am surprised KOT has not ot hold of that fake UN report that says a third of Kenyas children are little hoes.
1/3.
Kenya has 20 million kids under 18.
That would mean nearly 7 million little hoes.
Not realistic.
Leta link for research purposes
I’ll put it up on an anonymous file sharing platform if enough villagers express interest for ‘research purposes’ and if I’m assured that such a move won’t be back to haunt me.
ahaa, twataka kufanya further research
Nairobi near Accra road.
As an expert in linear regression analysis, we need that link to find conclusive relationship between underage girls and affinity for money.
Never spotted kids there. Only plus size light skinned shiny eyed mbishes.
I want to be part of the statistics contributing to child prostitution. Nitapata wapi tudogo ni sample…Na sio mlolongo?
