Tráfico de pessoas para exploração sexual de vulneráveis: desafios e estratégias de proteção no contexto nacional

Abstract

The present research addresses the crime of human trafficking for sexual exploitation, with an emphasis on the Brazilian context. The introductory chapter provides a brief historical contextualization of human trafficking, outlining the evolution of its concept and treatment under International Law. Subsequently, initial considerations are made about the crime from the perspective of Human Rights and Brazilian Criminal Law, and then particular attention is given to the practice of human trafficking for the sexual exploitation of vulnerable victims, highlighting internal policies for victim protection, crime prevention, and punishment. The study aims to explain how this type of trafficking occurs, as well as to establish the main laws and programs related to combating, preventing, and protecting victims of human trafficking. It seeks to draw, through the hypothetical-deductive approach method, a dialogue between the legislation and the reality involving human trafficking for sexual exploitation. The applied procedure method is monographic, as the research focuses on an in-depth analysis of human trafficking for sexual exploitation, requiring an examination of all relevant aspects of the topic, in the search for understanding its context, causes and effects. The research technique used, in turn, is bibliographic, given the necessity of studying legislation, scientific articles, books, and official documents.
