Sexual Abuse of Aboriginal Girls Continues Without Let Up in Australia
Helpless aboriginal girls continue to be victims of sexual abuse in Australia despite much-touted government interventions.
The problem is particularly rampant in the Northern Territory mining town of Nhulunbuy, community elders have complained. Girls as young as 13 are given cash, drugs, alcohol and taxi rides in exchange for sex.
The elders have also asked police to investigate a group of non-indigenous men in the town who, they say, have been sexually abusing aboriginal teenagers for years.
People are angry that the despicable practice was still on in Nhulunbuy, 650 kilometres east of Darwin, eight months after the $1.5 billion intervention in the Territory's remote indigenous communities.
Bernadette Guruwiwi, 19, told the Sydney Morning Herald it was well known that last Monday two girls went to the house of a retired mine worker. Both of them were given beer and marijuana to smoke before the man took the other girl into his bedroom for sex, she said. The man gave the teenager $500.
Bethany Yunupingu, 20, told how two girls recently went to the house of a non-indigenous man who works for the NT Government. They were both given marijuana. One was paid $100 for having sex with the man while the other girl was given money for introducing her to the man.
A 19-year-old Aboriginal woman who asked not to be identified said she was offered three bottles of whisky to talk with a man in a taxi. "I knew what he wanted I'm disgusted that these things are going on here," she said.

so i think the solution of that problem is to increase the facilities of legalised sex houses like that present in red area of amesterdam and germany so there would be no need for that kind of abuse, and also would prevent rape crimes, so safe and controlled legalised sex service is the normal pathway to prevent those kind of crimes together with much more education warnings to the families of those girls
