According to UNICEF 2001, children and women subjected to commercial sexual exploitation:
400,000 in India (about 0.04% of population)
244,000-325,000 in the United States (about 0.08%)
200,000 in Thailand (about 0.31%)
175,000 in Eastern & Central Europe
100,000 in the Philippines (about 0.11%)
100,000 in Taiwan (about 0.44%)
100,000 in Brazil (about 0.05%)
35,000 in West Africa
Thailand, a country with a high percent of exploited children, started a campaign against it recently. Historically spread of children exploitation in this country is related with US military interventions. Are Americans aware of the impact of their country on children rights there too?
