The National Council of Women in Conference assembled, believing that children involved in prostitution should be treated as victims of abuse rather than criminals, calls upon HM Government: (a) to decriminalise child prostitution and to recommend that these children are treated under the Children Act as at risk of serious harm; and (b) to seek to ensure that all adults involved in the exploitation of such children are prosecuted.  Reaffirmed 2006
