BREAKING NEWS is that Air France is to show a graphic video on child prostitution on all its long haul flights from next month. The aim is to raise awareness of the often hidden problem and to target passengers who may be using its aircraft to fly to vulnerable countries. The 90-second video shows young girls in discos, on streets and in hotels, with graphics displaying their ages. To the sound of handcuffs clicking shut, the video then shows a middle-aged man, a censor bar across his eyes reading '10 years'. The video will be played on the airline's 94 long haul aircraft and be seen by up to 46,000 passengers a day. UNICEF says about one million children are exploited every year in the multi-billion-dollar industry. UK scheduled and charter carriers have been targeted for a number of years by charities fighting child exploitation.
