Mongolian children are trafficked internally for the purposes of sexual exploitation in saunas, bars, hotels, karaoke clubs and massage parlours. Mongolia is a destination country for both international and domestic offenders and it is also classified as a source country for children subjected to trafficking for sexual purposes in South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Germany, Sweden, and the United States.
Children in Mongolia are exploited to produce child sexual abuse material (CSAM). National laws pertaining to the sexual exploitation of children remain insufficient as they do not clearly criminalise the use or offering of children in the production of CSAM, nor the procuring of children aged 16 or 17 for the production of such materials.
Between 2010 and 2015, 1% of boys and 5% cent of girls aged 15 to 19 were married or in union in Mongolia.
In January 2016, IOM Mongolia, in collaboration with the Mongolian Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Justice and Immigration, as well as ECPAT International, launched a two-year project aimed at protecting the rights of victims of human trafficking in Mongolia. The project entails direct assistance to victims of human trafficking, including shelter and reintegration support, awareness raising campaigns and livelihood skills trainings.
