TRÁFICO HUMANO PARA FINS DE EXPLORAÇÃO SEXUAL

Abstract

This work describes human trafficking with a focus on sexual exploitation. Such an approach is necessary, since human trafficking is considered the third most profitable crime, second only to the trafficking of arms and drugs. The purpose of this work is to analyze about this crime, its general aspects, agents, victims, routes and pertinent legislation. This intent will be achieved through literature review and analysis of articles already published on the subject. The analysis concluded that trafficking in sexual exploitation is a growing practice due to impunity, corruption and society's lack of combat. Furthermore, it became evident that victims often enter the scheme without conscience, deceived by the expectation of better life, security, employment opportunities and living in a more developed country. Thus, the country's lack of development is a factor that directly affects the contribution to human trafficking, as it is among the main reasons that lead people to looking for a better destination outside Brazil.
