Violência na contemporaneidade: Refletindo sobre o tráfico de crianças e adolescentes para exploração sexual

Abstract

The present study that seeks, in a brief way, to expose how the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents has happened in the contemporary scene, through human trafficking, has as main objective to present data about this practice that constitutes an expression of the social issue, and the public policies that are being put into practice to face it. It is worth mentioning that trafficking in persons is one of the most serious forms of violation of human rights. In contemporary times, criminal organizations perpetuate modern slavery dressed in new clothes, adapting to the new model of sociability and violating the victims' individuality through the illusion that they will have a better quality of life through promises that will not be fulfilled. The methodology used in this study was the bibliographic review — through access to the works of several authors who focus on the study of the aforementioned theme, in which the relationship between the economy and social issue with violence and how this influences human trafficking — was brought up. and documentary research; in which we resort to the laws that are responsible for protecting victims at the national and international levels; those that profile the recruiters and victims; and those that show how the strategies adopted by the State have been used to disrupt the organizations responsible for trafficking in persons in our country. At the end of this study, we provisionally conclude that victims need assistance and can create strategies so that they can reintegrate into society and return to a normal life.
