Modernização, desenvolvimento turístico e exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes no âmbito federal e no Estado de Alagoas: uma análise documental

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the factors that contribute to increase the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in the state of Alagoas and Maceió, both in relation to aspects of macro-structural modernization as compared to the sector modernization in the field of tourism development, giving visibility to institutional silences that block the formulation and implementation of adequate public policies to the monitoring and defense of this population segment. The investigation involves historical analysis, bibliographic search and document analysis for understanding processes related to modernization and its impact on the phenomenon of sex tourism and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents at the federal level and in the State of Alagoas. The research identified problems and gaps in the Tourism Development Program in the Northeast - Prodetur I and II and gaps in the Strategic Plan for Tourism Development in the State of Alagoas for the formulation of structural policies to contain the negative effects of modernization on vulnerable segments of the population, especially children and adolescents. The results of the documentary research presented here are restricted exclusively to the formal content of the analyzed documents.
