The sexual exploitation of youth is a complex and multidimensional social problem. Understanding the antecedents and factors that entrap youth into the world of sexual exploitation is imperative for effective interventions. This article presents a visual entitled the Waters of Sexual Exploitation that is used as a training tool for social service personnel to understand the world of sexually exploited youth. The visual was developed through an extensive review of the literature as well as in consultation with the Sexually Exploited Youth Training Committee with a specific focus on the overrepresentation of Aboriginal youth who are sexually exploited. The Waters of Sexual Exploitation visual helps to capture the complex relationships that develop between sexually exploited youth, the people that exploit the youth, and the helpers working with youth exiting this world. The visual is enhanced by the inclusion of the lived experience of a survivor of this world.

Child sexual exploitation is a complex international phenomenon with significant social issues and consequences for victims. The present research proposes to present the cognitive schemas of youth in sexual exploitation as victims according to the perception of child protection professionals. The sample consists of 19 girls who received services from the Quebec's Child protection services regarding a referral related to a situation of sexual exploitation. The results show that young people involved as victims in sexual exploitation present numerous vulnerability factors. In particular, they all received child protection services prior to their first situation of sexual exploitation. In this context, the majority of young people consider involvement in sexual exploitation as a rational and deliberate choice to exchange sexual services for retribution or to remain in a relationship with individuals who abuse them. The qualitative analyzes identified five cognitive schemas, namely aversive, relational, material, mixed and entrepreneurial. Youth considered as victims who are also involved in the recruitment of other victims for sexual exploitation are also the subject of particular attention. This research therefore contributes to the advancement of knowledge in terms of understanding the perceptions of their own situation of young girls caught up in sexual exploitation and proposes promising intervention according to the cognitive schemas of youth.

Alors que bon nombre de parcours prostitutionnels prennent racines à l’adolescence, cet essai s’intéresse à l’intrication de ces deux phénomènes, soit l’adolescence et la prostitution chez les jeunes femmes. Le processus adolescent, tel qu’entendu par la psychanalyse, soit un processus psychique organisateur ancré dans les changements maturatifs réels du corps, aura ainsi offert des repères afin de se mettre à l’écoute de processus psychiques sous-jacents au phénomène de prostitution chez les jeunes femmes. Plus spécifiquement, nos objectifs étaient (1) d’explorer la place du corps et de sa représentation psychique à l’adolescence, chez des jeunes femmes qui mobilisent celui-ci par la prostitution; (2) d’explorer les processus et conflits psychiques sous-jacents à pareilles mobilisations du corps à travers l’adolescence. Nous souhaitions par ailleurs, (3) explorer la place …

AbstractThrough the Prism of HIV. Doing Field Research among Street Children in CambodiaThis article has two goals. First, it is part of a broader interest in the embodiment of social events. Using the example of street children in Cambodia, it analyzes how individual's lives, framed by collective fate, bring some children (but not all) to HIV exposure. Second, the paper examines some issues of applied anthropology, since the research was designed as a negotiation between the anthropologist and people working in the humanitarian and development field. In particular, it shows how the global perspective of the protection of children can be in contradiction with local field work situations. The analysis is based on interview of one hundred and four street children in Phnom Penh in 1999. The paper describes the children's ‘‘careers'' which are very different for girls and boys. The emotional and sexual lives of the children are described, notably prostitution. Almost all the girls in the sample draw their entire salary from their work as indirect sex workers in bars whereas prostitution provides some supplemental income for some of the boys.
