Tráfico infanto-juvenil para exploração sexual na fronteira: a contribuição da sociedade civil na rede de enfrentamento

Abstract

This work presents a study on the contribution of civil society, especially non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in combating child trafficking for sexual exploitation in the border regions of Brazil. The first section contextualizes the importance of human rights in International Relations, addressing issues such as the universalization of human rights, the role of the State and the contribution of the philosopher Immanuel Kant to these discussions. The second section deals with the role of civil society and its political activity in Brazil, especially in the defense of human rights, considering NGOs as its main spokespersons. In the third section, the context of trafficking for sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in border regions is explored, as well as existing policies to combat it, highlighting the inclusion of civil society in complying with these policies. Finally, a brief analysis of projects developed by two NGOs in partnership with government agencies that were relevant in combating human trafficking is carried out.
