The mainstream of the fight against child sexual abuse associated with sex-tourism is the "Say No" movement started by the End Child Prostitution in Asian Tourism all around the world.
Abstract
The President of the International Abolitionists Association, Anima Basak, summarized the worldwide problem of child prostitution in the 428th issue (1991) of the Revue Internationale de la Police Criminelle, emphasizing the sexual abuse of children. The exceptionally well-documented article demonstrates the true nature of the problem. Both the public and politicians in many countries have recognized the seriousness of the situation, have taken firm steps against child sexual abuse, and are concerned with providing adequate protection for children.
