La trata de ni�os, ni�as y adolescentes es una forma de explotaci�n sexual comercial, y en la regi�n se ha venido observando como un problema social, en cual el Estado y las Sociedad Civil tiene que empezar a combatir de la mano. Desde una perspectiva juvenil creemos que existen leyes que van en contra la ESC, pero no son lo suficientemente efectivas, y adem�s con muy general, se puede promover la creaci�n de leyes que trabajen de manera muy especifica las formas de explotaci�n sexual en menores, y en especial el de la trata.

Pero como antes se hab�an mencionado, creemos que no es solamente el Estado es quien esta en el deber de encontrar las debidas soluciones a este problema, tambi�n le hacemos un llamado a la sociedad civil (Familia, Comunidades, Escuelas, Etc) a empezar visualizar a la explotaci�n sexual, como un problema de todos, y en el cual todos debemos aportar desde la identificaci�n de casos hasta la denuncia frente a las situaciones.

En la Region de Latinomarica existen organizaciones de la sociedad civil que promueven la defensa de los derechos de los NNAJ, y a su vez buscan que eston sean sujetos multiploquen esta informacion. En la Region existen experiencias exitos de partipacion juvenil que trabajan en contra de la Expltacion Sexual Comercial (Trata de NNAJ con fines sexuales), paises como: Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Uruguay, Venezuela, Peru y Republica Dominicana, son nuevas estrategias en los cuales los jovenes son los principales protagonistas en el trabajo en contra de la Trata.

Hola a Todos

Desde la perspectica juvenil en la Region de Latinoamerica y el Caribe la Trata de NNAJ (Ni�os, Ni�as, Adolescentes y Jovenes) es un problema que se da en la totalidad del continente. En la actulidad desgracidamente la sociedad en general se ha acostumbrado a este problema, hasta llegar al punto de volverse insensibles frente a este, no sabiendo que este le puede suceder inclusive a su misma familia.

Algunos factores que se pueden observar en la Region son la falta de conocimiento de la problematica por parte de los NNAJ y sus familias, las zonas de alta riesgo y vulnerabilidad de algunas comunidades en donde habitan NNAJ, ademas tambien por parte del Gobierno, la falat de leyes y codigos que castigen fuertemente a quienes se les encuentre realizando trata con menores, poco control en los viajes (areo, terrestre y maritimo) especialmente en los puertos de embarques y desembraques, ademas que no hay fueres relaciones politicas y judiciales a nivel nacional e internacional que permitan la creacion de redes que trabajen en contra de a trata, y el control de NNAJ. Y por ultimo tambien creemos que el poco control de los medios de comunicacion (Internet, Television, Periodicos, Revistas) permiten de una u otra manera la publicacion de anuncion que promueven la trata.

I think it is quite shocking that teenagers go online to buy or sell sex. You mentioned that these young people think it is normal to have sex and I think this is the issue that needs to be looked at.

It is very important to incorporate sex education within the education system. This has to be in such a way it focuses not only the science of sex but as well the morals and values that need to be observed. This should also let these children know of the religious perspectives on sex.

Parents, as primary duty bearers in ensuring the rights of children have a role to play. You don't wait untill somone is 16years old before you start talking to them about sex. At this age, teenagers are curious and want to know more about their bodies, their environment and so on which makes it easy for them to be engaged in issues such as the 'sex trade'. Parent-to-child dialogue and proper upbringing of young people could make a huge difference. it is not only about NGOs doing advocacy work and government formulating policies, it is about how the issue is tackled from the grassroots.

Parents, especially young parents need parenting skills to be able to bring up their children in a healthy and civilised manner. The education system needs to play a part in shaping the behavior of teenagers. This way, when NGOs do their work and government formulate and implement policies, there would be change. Internet Service Providers also have a role to play in tacking this issue.

I think it is very shocking that teenagers are involved in online 'sex trade'. I believe they should be regarded as victims and need urgent help. It needs all stakeholders to paly their part well.

Bem, n�o sei se esses fatores que vou citar s�o apenas com rela��o a minha regi�o, mas quest�es como g�nero, ra�a / etnia e orienta��o sexual vulnerabilizam a Trata, bem como a explora��o sexual visto que colocam a v�tima em situa��o de "desvantagem" social a partir de um contexto hist�rico e cultural.

Uma coisa que tamb�m temos discutido, � que muitas vezes a vitima de trata j� passou por uma s�rie de viola��es dos seus direitos icluindo muitas vezes a explora��o sexual, ent�o, paralelo ao trabalho de aten��o a vitimas � importante intensificar a preven��o no nivel b�sico como acesso a servi�os de educa��o, saude, trabalho, entre outros... Em minha organiza��o desenvolvemos a dois anos atras um trabalho com adolescentes, jovens e mulheres vulner�veis a trata, onde iamos a comunidade com oficinas de educa��o em direitos humanos e de atividades que pudessem gerar renda... no trabalho direto com as repatriadas (sobretudo quando jovens) inseriamos nos grupos existentes na comunidade visto que elas retornavam muito vulnerabilizada e com a maioria dos vinculos que tinham quebrados...

O primeiro passo para enfrentar a Trata, � que as legisla��es possam dar suporte da prote��o das crian�as e adolescentes... No Brasil por exemplo muito recentemente foi aprovada a lei que fala do trafico interno, no entanto ainda temos muitas dificuldades por que adolescentes podem a partir de doze anos viajar sem qualquer tipo de autoriza��o por escrito, podendo assim serem levados para as fronteiras e para fora do pa�s. Fora isso uma grande dificuldade � que a trata interna tem uma propor��o t�o cruel quanto a internacional..

En Am�rica Latina, se ha establecido que los ninos y ninas son primero tratados dentro del pa�s y luego, cuando son de m�s edad, son tratados a otros pa�ses. A 2009, la mayor�a de los pa�ses de Am�rica Latina no tienen leyes que penalicen la trata interna. Que piensas de este tema?

Algunas de las cosas que podemos hacer para detener la trata de ninos y adolescentes incluyen: difundir el tema creando conciencia, participar de campan-as e informando a las autoridades o l�neas de ayuda si crees que una persona es v�ctima de la trata. Puedes mencionar algo que la gente j�ven est� realizando en tu regi�n? Tienes alguna sugerencia?

En la Gu�a para J�venes sobre la Trata de Personas se menciona que algunos de los factores que ponen a los ni�os en situaci�n de riesgo de la trata con fines sexuales incluyen: problemas familiares, dificultades sociales y econ�micas como la pobreza, los conflictos armados o desastres naturales que perturban la vida normal de la comunidad, y pocas oportunidades de empleo.

Hi Jonathan!

Thank you for your comment, you have mentioned a very serious issue. As horrible as it sounds, in many countries myths and negative religious practices also fuel the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children. This also happends in South America, especially in Brasil and Argentina.

I agree with the mentioned factors, they are really great factors in my region of Africa.

But there is a nother great factor in my region you left out, this is The belief in witch craft.

Many people who believe in witch craft traffick children from one country to another or from one area to a nother to sacrifice them.

Child sacrife is very common in countreies like Uganda of Africa where at times un known dead bodies of children who were trafficked are found.

English Summary - Thailand

A research, �Sex service advertised in Internet chatroom�, conducted by Sasidara Singhanet revealed that both men and women are selling sex online more to get money for daily expenditure and purchasing luxurious goods. It is considered as an easy mean to earn a large sum of money in a short period of time without having to go through agencies. It also allows the sex provider to choose the customers and arrange meeting time themselves.

Male customers are people who have high sexual needs and their partners cannot satisfy them, or have problem in their relationship. Some are single and got encouraged by their friends. The research found that they buy sexual service online due to its availability, less cost compared to going brothels, and they do not have to worry that they will have negative image going to brothels.

For female customers, buying sex online is more confidential, comfortable, and easier compared to other forms of purchase of sexual services. They purchase sex to satisfy sexual needs and revenge their lovers when having problems in their relationship.

The research also addressed that teenagers think having sex is normal. Some bought or purchase sex because they want to have more than one or exchange partners.

How does this impact CSEC? What are you views on teenagers buying or selling sex on-line?

Ukraine�s �sex tourism� hits political radar
With the global crisis in full swing, an increasing number of females in the Eastern Bloc countries are being forced to moonlight as prostitutes. Some find themselves shuttled off to foreign countries against their will.

But comments by a Ukrainian top official suggests the battle against these social evils, and others, has just begun.

Although it�s nowhere near the level of wanton promiscuity visible on any street corner in places like Bangkok, Thailand, it is no longer a secret in Ukraine that sex sells. And it sells even better under the �right� conditions: financial crisis, loose laws, looser morals and attractive women. This perfect storm is now responsible for spawning a national cottage industry for prostitution, a growing social phenomenon that has sparked heated debate between supporters and detractors alike.

The conversation around the smoky bar inside of a three-star Soviet-era hotel situated on a hill overlooking Khreschatyk, Kiev�s lively main boulevard, is focused on two things: women, specifically Ukrainian women, and alcohol. The men, three middle-aged British nationals and one American are listening intently to Dima, a Russian version of hyperactive sex guru Frank Mackey (played by Tom Cruise in the 1999 film Magnolia), who gives testosterone-packed seminars to wide-eyed men on the secrets of scoring with the opposite sex.

�I tell you, I have been to America,� Dima says, practically screaming over the sound system that is blaring the Beatles hit song �Back in the USSR�, �and these girls are nothing like that. You will have a lot of fun, I promise.�

Dima, who was born in St. Petersburg, but moved to Kiev �years ago,� is a volunteer guide for one of the many �sex tours� now organized around the Ukrainian capital.

�I don�t get paid to do this work,� Dima, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said with a smile. �The guys might buy me a few rounds of drinks, but that is all. It�s just an innocent guys� night out on the town.

The two visiting British nationals, Dave and Nigel, are in town for a quick weekend �adventure� at the local clubs. The culture shock is apparent on their faces, and they don�t hide the fact that they are in town for a good time.

�I have heard some wild stories about this place,� Dave muses between sips of his beer. �Some acquaintances of mine were here last summer for a bachelor party, and they said it was the best time of their lives. They were with a different girl every night.�

But now it looks like the party in Ukraine may be coming to an end. After a steady rise in criminal offenses and complaints from citizen groups, lawmakers are beginning to discuss ways to nip sex tourism in the bud by raising the penalty for offenders � prostitutes and clients alike.

Ukrainian Minister of the Interior Yury Lutsenko said in an interview on Tuesday with Today magazine that Ukraine is �becoming a paradise for sex tourists,� where the victims are not only women. In an increasing number of cases, children are becoming prey for a different sort of sex tourist.

�The worst thing about the situation is that child prostitution and pornography is also flourishing�We need to strengthen the penalties, but the legislation for such offenses puts the penalty from 51 to 255 hryvnia ($US 6 to $31, respectively), and that is absolutely laughable,� the minister said.

If Lutsenko gets his way, Ukraine may be in for something of a mini cultural revolution. He is also advocating stiffer penalties on �samogon� production, basically the production of moonshine, as well as hooliganism.

Speaking about the home production of alcohol, Lutsenko said that today �the penalty for such an offense is 150 hryvnia ($US 1. This is simply not serious. The penalty needs to be increased, and can be by 10 times. What other way is there to fight alcoholism and drunkenness?�

Last July, members of the female rights organization FEMEN gathered in Independence Square the center of Kiev where they rallied against Ukraine�s growing sex tourism industry. Protesters held up placards with inscriptions like, �Ukraine is not a bordello� and �Sex tourists go home!�

The demonstration generated a lot of publicity, and the group�s leader, Anna Hutsol, told reporters that the goal of her organization is to �lobby for legislation aimed at criminalizing �clients,� making them responsible as well, and to do preventive work among students and foreigners.�

Asked why she became personally involved in the issue, Hutsol responded, �I have learned� never to wait till the problem resolves itself. Our government does not even know about existing problems.�

It seems they do now.
