There is no place for sexual exploitation, especially of children, not here in Aotearoa and not anywhere overseas. Yet according to UNICEF, there are millions of children globally who are affected by sexual exploitation every year. We know that tourism isn't the cause of child exploitation, but it can aggravate the problem. What can be additionally horrifying is the othering that sometimes happens as a justification of travelling to commit these offences. Again, don't get me wrong, developing countries aren't the only places where child sexual exploitation occurs, but they have become a magnet for child sex tourism. In addition to feeling that their offences may not be traceable, some might feel that part of the justification appears to be tied to the concept of othering of these children—sometimes on the basis of their race—allowing them to justify that their moral obligations might excuse those children from any crimes that they're committing.
