Child prostitution - The Government has taken specific measures to prevent children from entering into prostitution. The programme for the withdrawal, rehabilitation and reintegration of child commercial sex workers has been operating since 1999 in three regions of Tanzania and has been supported by ILO/IPEC. By May 2003, a total of 1200 children in commercial sexual exploitation had been withdrawn, and resituated appropriately. 57 NGOs have played a key role in implementing the programme. 58 Drug Abuse Article 28 In August 2003, a household Survey involving 300 young people from Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar showed that a significant percentage of youths (10-21 years) are addicted to alcohol, tobacco, hypnosedatives, cannabis and heroine (please see table 15 below).
