Abstract
Since 2001, U.S. organizations and agencies have increased understanding of the supply and demand of CSEC victims and have developed programs to address both issues. There has been a significant call to address demand from consumers and purchasers of CSEC and to view them as child sex abusers and exploiters. The U.S. will continue to strengthen anti-demand programs and legislation, recognizing the need for better language and more services within these efforts. The U.S. will also continue to address the conditions of vulnerability and availability which lead to the supply of children. During the Mid-Term Review process, the United States child protection community of experts was able to identify their best practices, gaps in programming, and challenges faced in the field. These next steps are drawn from that information and presented as suggestions for continued action or change in action in order to more effectively work toward the elimination of CSEC in the U.S. (Author Text)
