title: Effectively responding to the commercial sexual exploitation of children: a comprehensive approach to prevention, protection, and reintegration services.
abstract: The commercial sexual exploitation of children is one of the most destructive forms of abuse. Although some efforts have been made to stop the trafficking in children and youth, they are far from sufficient. A coordinated local and global response is needed if this "ultimate evil" is to be ended.
