> [June 2008] During the last year, international organizations and NGOs expressed concerns that internal trafficking of underage girls for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation by crews of foreign and local fishing vessels takes place occasionally in Kiribati. It is reported that approximately 17 girls were involved in commercial sexual exploitation in South Tarawa and Christmas Island. There is anecdotal evidence that a few third parties, sometimes including family members, facilitated commercial sexual exploitation of minors. Crews from Taiwanese and South Korean fishing vessels reportedly exploited underage girls on board for commercial sexual exploitation. - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2008

Which contradicts this claim of "no evidence that children on Christmas island are engaged in the worst forms of child labor"
"Worst forms of child labor" - So there's a best form of child labour?

True, just struck me as slimy wording. What is their criteria for "the worst kinds of child labour" and how can they claim there is none when there's a US state dept report from two years earlier claiming there is at least some "commercial sexual exploitation of minors"?
