One in five youths who run away from home are believed to have experienced some type of sex trade and 90 percent of those apparently occurred in locations with 500 meters of subway stations.

The findings were revealed in a report published by the Ministry of Women and Family Affairs Thursday.

According to the report, a survey of 398 runaway youths in the Seoul, Gyeonggi Province and Incheon areas, 19.6 percent engaged in some sort of sex trade. Of them 84.6 percent were girls and 15.4 percent boys.

In the case of students, the rate was 28.1 percent while is was 14.7 percent for those who were not attending school.

Asked about where the sex trade took place, 90 percent of those who answered affirmatively said it was within 500 meters of Seoul Metro subway stations.

Of the locations, 19 were close to the Juan station in Incheon, 10 near Suwan and Bucheon stations, and 16 in the vicinity of the Sillim station in southern Seoul.

Of the locations where the sex activities actually took place, 65.8 percent were in motels, 17.1 percent in karaoke rooms and 6.6 percent in vehicles.




가출청소년 성매매, 대부분 이곳서 벌어졌다

가출 청소년 5명 중 1명이 성매매 경험이 있으며 성매매 장소의 90% 이상이 지하철역 반경 500m 이내인 것으로 조사됐다. 6일 여성가족부의 '성매매 피해 청소년 공간패턴 연구'에서 나타난 결과다. 

서울ㆍ경기ㆍ인천 지역에서 가출한 경험이 있거나 가출 상태인 청소년 398명을 대상으로 지난 6~8월 이뤄진 설문조사를 토대로 한 이 연구에서 19.6%인 78명이 성매매 경험이 있었다.

성매매 경험이 있는 청소년 중 여성 청소년이 84.6%, 남자 청소년이 15.4% 였다. 학생이 아닌 경우 성매매 경험은 28.1%, 학생인 경우에는 14.7%로 배 차이를 보였다.  성매매 경험이 있는 학생들의 응답과 서울지하철 노선을 비교해본 결과 성매매 공간의 90%가 지하철 역사 500m 이내에 분포해 있었다.

이들이 지목한 성매매 공간은 서울의 경우 신림역 인근(16곳)에 집중됐고, 수도권으로 확대하면 인천 주안역(19곳), 수원역과 부천역(이상 10곳), 부평역(8곳)이 꼽혔다. 또 영등포역(5곳), 청량리역ㆍ외대앞역(2곳) 순이었다. 구별로는 관악구(19건), 영등포구(6건), 동대문구(4건) 순으로 많았다. 

성매매가 이뤄진 장소는 모텔이 65.8%로 압도적으로 많았다. 이어 노래방(17.1%), 자동차(6.6%) 등에서 성매매가 이뤄졌다. 성매매 경로로는 절반 이상(53.2%)이 번개 및 조건만남을 통해서였고, 노래방 도우미(14.7%), 보도방(14.1%) 순이었다.
