child prostitution
Underage commercial abuse
Child prostitution is the use of minors for commercial sex acts.
The term frames the practice from an adult perspective; advocacy groups prefer "commercial sexual exploitation of children" to emphasize that children cannot consent to prostitution and are victims rather than participants.
Laws worldwide criminalize those who purchase, facilitate, or profit from sexual acts with minors.
