Wallis: 'It is time to put an end to child sex tourism'

"It is time to put an end to child sex tourism" - Lib Dem MEP Diana Wallis

A group of Lib Dem MEPs has sponsored a new campaign to stop child sex tourism and the global exploitation of children for sex. With the increasing ease of travel, new technology and rising migration and displacement, children everywhere are being sexually exploited. This practice must be stopped both at home and abroad.

South-East England MEP Sharon Bowles was one of the members of the ALDE group in the European Parliament who helped to launch the campaign against child sex tourism, in cooperation with international charities including Save the Children.

Sharon said "we need global action to protect the rights of children so that they can live free from sexual exploitation".
