“…In addition, although the broader literature gives rise to an inconsistent picture regarding the association between childhood abuse and younger involvement in the sex trade [29][30][31], this study's findings point to almost half of those who entered before the age of 18 reporting childhood sexual abuse compared to only close to a third amongst participants who entered the sex trade later. Although it is important to draw attention to abuse that may enable a young person's involvement in the sex trade, other survival-related factors can also feature among the more proximal drivers behind the decision to enter [6,32]. When asked about reasons for entering the sex trade, 49.6% of women who entered below the age of 18 reported the need for basic necessities, such as food and housing.…”

Female sex workers are a structurally vulnerable population, including critical insecurity such as having access to food and shelter. This risk may be heightened among individuals who enter sex work as minors. However, the reasons for entering sex work as a minor and the long-term structural risk implications are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the reasons for and longterm impact of trading sex before the age of eighteen on

“…This latter point is particularly important because key risk items highlighted in this study point to increased risk due to contact with others involved in CSEC or being in areas known for CSEC. This also speaks to recent qualitative research that has emphasized the influence of friends who provide risky role modeling and pressure youths to engage in commercial sex (Reed, Kennedy, Decker, & Cimino, 2019). Different predictors may predict risk of CSEC in populations less commonly studied.…”

Enhancing the Identification of Commercial Sexual Exploitation Among a Population of High-Risk Youths Using Predictive Regularization Models

Despite an increasing awareness about the existence and harms of commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), the identification of victims remains a challenge for practitioners, hindering their ability to provide appropriate services. Tools that gauge risk of CSEC support the identification of victims but are underdeveloped because most tools assess risk of CSEC within a general youth population. An understanding of what predicts actual CSEC victimizations among youths at higher risk of CSEC due to experiences of childhood adversities has been left unassessed. Research in this area is limited in part because traditional methods do not allow for an assessment of the unique impact of childhood adversities that tend to co-occur. To address these difficulties, the current study applied predictive regularization methods to identify the most decisive risk items for CSEC. Proximal risk of CSEC was assessed among 317 youths who were referred to a specialized program in the Northeast of the United States due to suspicion of CSEC. With an innovative methodological approach, this study seeks to prompt other scholars to examine risk utilizing novel techniques and provides a foundation for the development of concise tools that assess risk of CSEC among populations of youths at higher levels of risk.

“…Beberapa penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan bahwa penyebab seseorang rentan menjadi korban eksploitasi seksual antara lain lingkungan keluarga, pengalaman yang menyakitkan atau rasa kehilangan yang tidak terduga, kekerasan seksual, gaya hidup (Reed, Kennedy, Decker, & Cimino, 2019;Jonsson, Svedin, & Hyden, 2015;Lutya, 2010), serta hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kesehatan mental seseorang (Levine, 2017). Kondisi ini menimbulkan adanya perdebatan yang keras terkait dengan "keputusan" seorang perempuan secara khusus yang berusia anak atau remaja, yaitu penjelasan tentang keterlibatan mereka sebagai pekerja seks komersial (Doezema, 2002;Suhardjo & Irwanto, 2018).…”

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memahami secara mendalam mengenai pengalaman hidup pada remaja korban eksploitasi seksual komersial. Di Indonesia kasus ini semakin menunjukkan kompleksitasnya. Remaja menjadi korban tidak hanya karena terjerat di dalam lingkaran perdagangan manusia untuk tujuan eksploitasi seksual komersial, akan tetapi juga terdapat remaja dengan pengalaman hidup yang membuatnya rentan untuk dieksploitasi secara seksual. Penelitian ini akan fokus pada remaja pada kelompok kedua. Disain penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus. Pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif dan observasi non partisipatif. Jumlah partisipan keseluruhan adalah 8 remaja perempuan yang berusia 17-24 tahun yang menjadi korban eksploitasi seksual komersial sejak usia 14-17 tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat berbagai faktor kerentanan, yaitu pengaruh lingkungan keluarga dan teman sebaya, serta faktor sosial-psikologis perkembangan tahap usia remaja. Selain itu, terdapat kondisi yang memperkuat kerentanan remaja, seperti perilaku seks bebas dan perasaan kehilangan harga diri, serta kebutuhan akan uang. Sedangkan dampak-dampak yang ditimbulkan meliputi dampak fisik, psikologis, dan pendidikan. Implikasi penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan masukan kepada pekerja sosial khususnya dalam bidang perlindungan anak dan remaja dalam upaya penanganan dan pencegahan remaja untuk menjadi korban eksploitasi seksual.
