paedophiles in india

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Information available on the internet can sometimes be overwhelming. As such, from time to time, I will be posting links and resources related to human trafficking and sexual exploitation that I’ve found helpful or interesting.

To start of, here is a radio documentary from the BBC about paedophiles in Goa, India.

The following is an introduction to the documentary from BBC’s website:

Thousands of tourists visit the Indian state of Goa’s beautiful beaches every year, but in this BBC investigation Allan Urry discovers a darker side to beach life in a tropical paradise.

Foreigners are travelling to Goa to sexually abuse children, and the local authorities are turning their back on the problem.

Allan travels to Goa to speak to charities, NGOs and government ministers and finds out that boys and girls as young as ten are indeed being made available for sex to foreign tourists.

As tourism in Goa grows bigger and bigger, will this problem get worse and worse?
