News Sex for a few dollars? The Brazil World Cup's dark side

[Emma]

Children as young as 10 are being forced to sell themselves for sex on the streets of Brazil to cash in on the waves of hafootball fans heading to the World Cup.

In Brazil, adults over the age of 18 can legally sell their bodies, but prostitution by younger teens and children is illegal. According to federal police figures some 250,000 children are exposed to prostitution in Brazil where they sell sex for as little as $2 or a pack of cigarettes.

It would be foolish not to.

Besides, i need to know how much cash i'm taking with me...

[candle27scents]

I used to travel to Mexico & the sex trade is huge down there. As long as there over 18 & not being forced into it, I don't see any problem with an adult deciding to offer sex for money. It should be legal in all 50 states here in the U.S.A

And this is different than any other time of the year?

The media is just the worst. No one gives a shit until they can get a headline out of it.

[upforit_sarah]

I think it is fine for adults to make a choice, but when you are forcing small children to do this it is really sad.

Drug dealers, pimps, phone muggers, pick-pocketters, lots of people will be going there for a working holiday. There will be trouble in Brazil. Guaranteed.

Of course, but prostitution in Brazil is everywhere, always.

[mineistaken]

thats typical brazil..

[ilnjscb]

I didn't really see any of that, but then I didn't look for it. It is legal there, and the age of consent is 14, but no one can legally be pushed into prostitution before 18. Such a low consent age means there is invariably crossover I guess. Just to be clear no one, at any age, should be pushed or forced into sexual acts.

yeah but now deep pockets are there line up the hoes

[BettingHandle]

World Cup means more customers, more money, which goes to further finance severe crack and ?cola? addictions and will line the pockets of pimps. Pimps bought young girls away from their parents for $5,000 to $10,000 each.

does anyone remember the nightclub HELP?

That place was awesome

[slapass]

You can tell the journalist just wanted to sound good. No one is doing it for a pack of cigarettes.

One of the nice things about Brazilian prostitution is that there are very few pimps. Very few of the girls are forced. They typically send money home to their mother etc. Sure you have rougher areas but the average tourist wouldhave to really seek that out.

Are the girls hot?

Cause in Thailand most of them are dogs, very hard to find a hot girl. Sometimes there are a couple of very hot VIP girls hustling in go go bars, but they don't "work" and you can't buy them.

[seeandsee]

Dirtiest scam and shit of the world is there, a selling children to same kind of people visiting brasil

Cigarettes are only $2 in Brazil? No wonder those kids are smoking.

[MasterBlow]

Police are investigating a crime gang reported to be offering girls as young as 11 up to $7,000 to be ?available? for football fans.

Pimps often traffic girls as young as 11yrs old, dressing them up to look older.

Hustling, but denying clients? How does that go hand in hand?

Yes, it is amazing how much of that cost of a pack is just taxes in the USA!

[kane]

There was a post on Reddit the other day asking people living in that area how things really were. One guy that lives in the proximity of one of the stadiums said the two biggest issues were that traffic was now a nightmare and you couldn't walk 10 feet without running into a hooker.

[adultmobile]

In Germany they legalized prostitution just in time for the 2006 World Cup held there. So that the legal, regulated, over 18 prostitution was offered in large and efficient amounts enough to make it not worth for any bad pimp to force any girl, young or old, into streets hooking. This not only let bankrupt and give-up the illegal pimps, but also brings a few billion euro of extra tax to government.

When a World Cup it happens in Brazil, they got bad prostitution issue anyway when no event was there, all years since the country is inhabitated, so bad prostitution simply grows as an "opportunity" with an event like this. The Brazil politicians it was unable and/or willing to make the country's living standard as good as the one of USA or Germany, and so the Brazil politicians are to blame for this situation, not so much the foreign customers. Where is the mention about Brazil politics failed to give alternatives or support to those people who got nothing better than end up this way, just because born there?

About journalists, there's the World Cup so they go care what happens there, but to be cynical, at least this event may bring some extra cash to the people involved, more than the average pre and after World Cup, when the life of those people may be more miserable! When less foreigners, prices lower and less cash... illegal, but it is still cash, that the BR government does not provide to support own poor population, who got nothing better to do than to beg foreigners.

To Journalists focusing on rich foreigners being customers of forced prostitution, I would remind those places such as Bangladesh, where forced prostitution is much worst and less paid than Brazil, because no foreigners or events. Only local people are customers, see an extract from Whore's Glory (I advise everyone in GFY to watch): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1327628/



Girls in brothels of Bangladesh are as young as 11, taking some cheap drugs to stay up and appear more round. Can never exit the brothel for whole life (this is more strict than in Brazil), and are paid a few cents only (some 1/10th of cheapest one in Brazil). There's no World Cup or foreigners to blame, it is pretty accepted by local government and relition. Interviewed people say: since here the women can't have sex before of marriage (all must marry virgin or so), then if there was not the brothel with whores (no one will marry), people would rape random girls all the time (rape there is not that a big crime, but there's death penalty if a wife betrays the husband).

Some parents know their children are sex workers, but turn a blind eye on account of the money.

It is horrible that sex trafficking of any kind still goes on in this world and there is no such thing as a child prostitute.
