Sexual exploitation of children rises in Gambia, government and UNICEF say 6 May 2004 – Sexual abuse and exploitation of children in Gambia is rising because of sex tourism from Britain and Northern Europe and "sugar daddy" relationships with adult nationals of the West African country, according to a report from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Gambian Government. Last year as many as 100,000 tourists, mainly from Britain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Germany, visited Gambia, the report says. Africa's smallest country, and one of the world's least developed (LDC), has an estimated population of about 1.5 million with a gross national income (GNI) of $330 per capita. "The Gambia is a vulnerable target for…unscrupulous visitors such as suspected or convicted paedophiles who enter the country in search of a low-profile location to commit their crimes against children silently and with impunity," the report quotes a previous UNICEF study as saying.
