In October 1993 an article was published in Reader's Digest which attempted to uncover the problem of child prostitution in Asia, sending a broadcast of this dilemma to the whole world. The article quoted Taiwan's Garden of Hope Foundation as estimating that in this country there are more than 61,000 underage prostitutes. It caused quite a sensation.
去年十月，發行全球的讀者文摘在「亞洲雛妓黑幕」一文中，引用了勵馨基金會對台灣現有雛妓的推估數字──六萬一千餘人，而引起軒然大波。
