Prostitution in Morocco

Morocco is a one of the premier destinations for child sex tourism in Africa [ [http://www.ecpat.org.uk/downloads/Morocco05.pdf] ] . The country is considered a tier 2 [ [http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2004/33195.htm] ] . Prostitution is illegal [ [http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2007/100602.htm] ] but many children are vulnerable as adoption laws in Morocco are very rigid and difficult which is made worse if the child is female due to the preference for boys. Due to Morocco increasing reputation for attracting foreign pedophiles Morocco has signed various international treaties to deal with the problem.
