Abstract

The purpose of this study to assess the response to Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) in Addis Ketema sub-city of Addis Ababa. Sexually exploited children were the unit of the analysis. An exploratory cross-sectional survey, in-depth interview, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and observations were employed to produce qualitative data. A total of 63 respondents representing SEC, child and girls’ clubs, organizations working on sexually exploited children and polices were part of the study. The failure of social institutions mainly the family, education and polity to properly function their roles are major causes for CSEC. CSEC has consequences both on the SEC, the lives of girl children and work culture of 'balukas'. There are few NGOs implementing prevention and rehabilitation programs, though there are no significant changes observed. The lack of awareness among the general public and some law enforcing bodies, dearth of financial and human resources, lack of accountability and coordination among actors, and leaving the problem aside to 'others' are some of the challenges. The study also recommends relevant points which have social work implication at practice, policy and research levels.
