This report examines some of the reasons why very few children seek and obtain compensation or monetary relief (i.e. money from a State-managed victim compensation fund, or from a perpetrator through a court of law) for injuries and trauma incurred from being sexually exploited. These obstacles include: the lack of information made available to child victims about their rights; the lack of support throughout the compensation-seeking process; conditions imposed by government-managed victim compensation funds; challenges facing victims in the court environment; and difficulties in enforcing court-ordered compensation against an offender. The report also highlights some of the cultural, behavioural and practical issues which influence or affect how legal processes function.
