An increase in prostitution among Romanian minors in Rome. Results of a three-month research project on unaccompanied Romanian children in Rome

Summary: Rome today appears to contain the highest concentration of Romanian unaccompanied children in Italy. Although the number of those trafficked from Romania to Italy is a reality, the number of children from 14 to 18 years old who migrate from their country and become involved in, or fall victim to, exploitation once they are already in Italy seems increasingly high. Boys and girls are involved mainly in the sex trade, while younger children (from 11 to 13) are involved in petty crimes such as robbery and extortion.Owner: Daniela Ercolanipdf: http://tdh.ch/cms/fileadmin/site_uploads/e/pdf/projekte/schwerpunkttheme...
