A report circulating this morning on the child sexual exploitation of children says that 65% of those who exploit minors in this way are Dominican, not foreigners. UNICEF says that although the perception is that tourists are the main culprits, it is mainly local people who exploit children for sexual purposes. Penalties for this offence range from 10 to 20 years in prison. The government is embarking on a national campaign with support from the International Labor Organization, aimed at tackling the problem of child employment. The country has also been invited to share its experiences at an international gathering of the ILO, presenting the successful results of a campaign that managed to get 3,000 children out of exploitative situations. The campaign against childhood sexual exploitation will consist of posters and billboards in specific areas, including Boca Chica, Puerto Plata and Sosua, and television advertisements. The sex industry and agricultural sector are the two areas identified as having the greatest concentrations of child exploitation. An estimated 339,000 children are exploited sexually and commercially in the Dominican Republic, according to the study, but the papers do not break down the figure between the two types of abuse.
