Lost Children of Central Asia, Underage Prostitution in Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan

Summary: Child prostitutes may be virtually
invisible in the Central Asia republics,
but they are there if you look hard
enough. In a wide-ranging
investigation conducted in four of the
five countries, IWPR discovered that
teenage girls are bought and sold as
commodities, and in some cases
shipped off to become sex slaves in
the Gulf.
