Forced in to sex or, unbelievably, encouraged by their parents, these children are victims of severe abuse. "I left home at age 10. My father abused me" explains Juliana who has sold herself since she was 12 years old.

"He managed to take all my documents, my ID, passport etc, and took me with him." She became his slave and prisoner.
