Legal Protection Of Children From Sexual Exploitation In Light Of Algerian Legislation And International Agreements

Authors : Mehtal Amina .

Abstract

Sexual exploitation of children, in all its forms, is one of the emerging criminal phenomena around the world, which threatens the child’s life, as the latter is exploited in all forms of sexual acts owing to these fragile physical and mental capabilities at this age range compared to adults. This phenomenon has therefore become a significant challenge for countries to protect the child from all forms of exploitation and abuse, which requires concerted international efforts to address and combat this cross-border phenomenon, as various national and international legislation intervened to criminalize various forms of juvenile sexual exploitation.
