Tráfico internacional de seres humanos, com ênfase no tráfico de mulheres para fim de exploração sexual: uma análise quanto à normativa nacional para contê-lo

Abstract

The present work aims to discuss international trafficking in persons, with an emphasis on trafficking in women for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Taking into account the complexity of the theme, it is necessary to bring the reflections from some relevant points to the debate of the theme. The historical context about human trafficking will be presented, since in antiquity there was already human trafficking for the purpose of slavery, and for sexual purposes. At first, the contextualization will be made about human trafficking at national and international level, as well as the treatment given to the crime. After that, an overview will be made about the concepts and foundations of the principle of human dignity and how trafficking in women violates this guideline. In addition, some of the conventions on the protection and rights of women will be exposed, and then present some important data on trafficking in women in Brazil. Further on, the work addresses the Brazilian legislation on the subject, its protocols and applications, to, finally, present the measures of prevention, repression and assistance to victims of trafficking, proposed by the National Policy to Combat Trafficking in Persons. In this way, the research made it possible to reflect on the historical context of trafficking in women at a national and international level and how the State, authorities and entities responsible for combating this crime have sought to curb this practice and ensure the rights of trafficked victims.
