Tráfico internacional de mulheres do estado do Pará para o Suriname: as políticas públicas para o seu enfrentamento

Abstract

In Brazil, there is an extremely recurrent occurrence of international human trafficking, with focus on the significant number of women that are trafficked from Pará to Suriname. Given this context, the present work aims to identify the existence of public policies to combat the international trafficking of women for the purposes of sexual exploitation, from the municipality of Belém, state of Pará to Suriname, at the state and federal levels. We also seek to understand the context of social vulnerability the victims find themselves in and what strategies are used by traffickers to entice them. In conclusion, it was possible to consider that there is a predominance of public policies at national level for the case and that the state of Pará plays a fundamental role to fight international human trafficking, considering its efforts to mitigate the problems involving local citizens.
