Millions at Risk
Because the exploitation of children is often hidden, there are no reliable figures about
how many children are exploited. But the number is thought to be up to two million a
year (International Labour Organization). Most are girls, but a significant number are
boys.

Exploitation
The commercial sexual exploitation of children is child sexual abuse in exchange for
some sort of payment, either money or favours. Children are directly used for sex
and/or used in pornography. The sexual exploitation of children is a serious crime and
against the law in every country.

Restore International was established in 2004 by founder Bob Goff. In 2002 he took a
trip to India and witnessed first-hand the attrocities and injustices committed against
children. Since then he has been dedicated to end human rights abuses towards
children.

According to the 2005 annual report, 600,000 to 800,000
