Why do they call it "child sex" when it is actually child rape?

Child protection charities are warning that sex tourism is spreading with an estimated 250,000 people travelling abroad for sex with minors every year.

In the past, a lack of cross border legal co-operation has helped many paedophiles escape justice, but as Rajan Datar reports the police, charities and the travel industry are now increasingly working together to crack down on the problem.

1. Nobody wants to call it rape

Just like nobody want to call trafficking slavery

2. On this first International Day of the Girl,

I am vowing to stop using the patriarchy's euphemisms for these crimes.

It's too easy to use the same language used by the media, but I'm going to try that much harder to stop helping with the whitewashing.
