Two sex videos have been circulated within the past month in Labasa, one involving three adults and the other involving a teenage girl and boy. While people have forgotten about the first one, the latter is still a hot issue as people are sharing it via messenger and other means. Reports have now emerged that the young girl in the video had taken her own life after the video started getting shared. Under the law, Police can charge people for trafficking if they are found to be sharing illicit and pornographic materials. Feedback : shalveen. Lifestyle Health Travel.
Child Sex Tourism Offences In The Pacific — Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre
A research team on commercial sexual exploitation of children CSEC and child sexual abuse CSA in Fiji has compiled a report that reveals the extent of sexual exploitation in the country with reports of the abuse of women and children and the factors that are enabling this disturbing trend. The issue of sexual exploitation is an extremely important one for the region as it occurs throughout and it is common knowledge and people, especially children, are extremely vulnerable to it. That is why this report, though it is focused on Fiji, is still applicable to the whole region because we share the factors that contribute to this all too important issue. As reported by the Fiji Times Online, 'an overwhelming majority of young female sex workers interviewed at five centres around the country indicated the lack of access to education and employment opportunities as significant push factors into the world of prostitution' while 'others gave reasons such as abuse experienced at home, lack of support from either immediate or extended family members, peer pressure and lack of parental supervision'. They said they did not engage in prostitution out of economic need but neglect had left them vulnerable to peer pressure'.

On 18 December, , Fiji and Australia signed a Memorandum of Understanding MOU to combat child sexual abuse, and to make it easier for police to crack down on child abusers exploiting children in the Pacific islands. This is seen as a very important and necessary bi-lateral strategy to prevent local child sex abuse and child sex tourism. Mr Robert Marlow, 51, of Melbourne, Australia, has been committed to stand trial for allegedly sexually abusing children in Fiji.
