Sexual exploitation of youth through prostitution is defined as any child or youth under the age of 18 who is engaged in the sex trade by choice or circumstances, including the provincial, national, and international trafficking of young people for the purposes of prostitution.What We Know About School-based Sexual Exploitation Prevention
School-based prevention efforts related to sexual exploitation are very new. Several sexual harassment prevention programs include sexual exploitation as a topic, but do not deal with this in an extensive manner.
Program Objectives:Raising awareness and providing students with skills to recognize and avoid sexual exploitation are the objectives of the initial prevention efforts.
Program Content:Separating myths and facts about child prostitution, understanding the realities of street life and how young people are lured into prostitution are the topics presented.
Teacher Training: Raising awareness of the realities of child prostitution is the aim of the informal teacher training in this prevention area.
Parent Involvement:As with teachers, parent presentations focus on raising awareness of the sexual exploitation of youth.
Did They Work? These are very new initiatives and no formal evaluations have yet been planned.

Yesterday the Phantom Bugle Corps Regiment (involve youth and young adults) conducted a practice/performance in Las Vegas and invited the public to observe. I saw many male youth without shirts on carrying their instruments into the H.S. stadium. I thought surly they will put on a shirt for the performance. My children attended and reported that they also performed without shirts on; it was very upsetting to me to see a youth organization exploit young men in this manner. I believe they're next performance is in Utah.
