“…The booming prostitution business at this time had led to the increase in trafficking of women and girls. For instance, it was reported in the Dutch Parliament in 1906 that there were about 3,500 girls in Switzerland, 10,000 in Berlin and 2,100 in London had been saved from the recruiter (Schrover, 2015). These occurrences were then perceived as "white slave trade" in the late 19th century, as many innocent women and girls were taken by force and held in captive with threats to their lives by the commercial procurers (Deady, 2011).…”

The abuse of children for sexual purposes has a long-standing history. It evolved due to many factors such as disparity in gender, misled religious beliefs, acceptable customary practices, superstition and economic development and it remains severe globally. The United Nations Children's Fund ("UNICEF") estimated in 2014 that about 120 million girls under the age of 18 have been subjected to forced sexual acts at some point of their lives. Even though this statistic covers all categories of sexual abuse, including exploitative as well as non-exploitative forms, the number is irrefutably alarming and UNICEF acknowledges that sexual violence, including sexual exploitation, is one of the most disconcerting of violations against the rights of children. Owing to the severity of the matter, protecting the children against sexual exploitation and abuse has become an international agenda since the late 1800s. It is now universally established under Article 34 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child ("the UNCRC") that children have the rights to be protected against any form of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. This article seeks to canvass the historical development of the laws relating to child sexual exploitation prior to the passing of UNCRC in 1989. Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature concerning child sexual exploitation. It has canvassed the historical development of the laws prior to the passing of UNCRC in 1989 emphasising on the factual circumstances that have driven such development.

“…Organizations in the rst decades of the twentieth century used the new medium of motion pictures to create public interest. The number of newspaper articles in this period about tra cking was stunning: thousands of articles were published yearly (Schrover 2015). The issue enabled organizations to gain high visibility and make strong moral claims.…”

Gender and Social Exclusion in European Migration Crisis

This chapter discusses social exclusion in European migration from a gendered and historical perspective. It discusses how from this perspective the idea of a crisis in migration was repeatedly constructed. Gender is used in this chapter in a dual way: attention is paid to differences between men and women in (refugee) migration, and to differences between men and women as advocates and claim makers for migrant rights. There is a dilemma—recognized mostly for recent decades—that on the one hand refugee women can be used to generate empathy, and thus support. On the other hand, emphasis on women as victims forces them into a victimhood role and leaves them without agency. This dilemma played itself out throughout the twentieth century. It led to saving the victims, but not to solving the problem. It fortified rather than weakened the idea of a crisis.
