Current Affairs UNICEF report says Czech-German border region is rife with child prostitution
The Czech Republic has in recent years gained some notoriety as a centre of cheap prostitution. If that reputation was not bad enough, a new report from the United Nations children's organisation, UNICEF, says the Czech-German border region is rife with child prostitution. The area, says the report, is a haven for German paedophiles, with Czech children often being pimped by members of their own family. For their part, the Czech police say they have no evidence that child prostitution exists, and Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla has described the UNICEF report as "unrealistic". I spoke to Pavla Gomba, the director of UNICEF in Prague, and asked her is she was surprised by the contents of the report, which was written by a German sociologist.
