| dc.description.abstract | The transnational traffic of women for sexual exploitation is practiced by criminal organizations that act in transnational scope, reaching thousands of women every year. Its origins retake the age of slavery, and over the centuries it has developed reaching the structure and hierarchy of criminal organizations which now exists.This crime benefits from some aspects: globalization, the vulnerability of some women, the way victims are groomed, the networks formed with traffic, billion-dollar profit that comes from their activities and even the routes which are constantly used and altered making it difficult to discover. Therefore, it is essential that the State act to combat, repress and prevent this criminal practice through effective public policies.It should be emphasized that in order to act against a crime of transnational proportions, its accomplishment must be given in a cooperative way with other countries affected by the action of this crime.In this way, there is a broader action, which allows greater effectiveness in the protection of women against traffic, ensuring their rights to life, freedom (including sexual), and person dignity. Considering these objectives, international treaties and conventions, as well as internal actions, were developed by the Brazilian State, which were fundamental to combat the international traffic of women for sexual exploitation.Among these actions there are the Palermo Protocol, the National Policy and the National Plans to Combat Traffic of Persons.Thus, for the accomplishment of this research will be used the bibliographical and documentary technique for the data collection, and will be applied the qualitative method objectified by the analysis of content for the analysis of these data, with the objective to verify if the Brazilian public policies of combat, prevention and repression of the transnational traffic of women for sexual exploitation are effective in their performance and results, justifying also the importance of the cooperative intervention at national level, between the Brazilian states, and internationally , among other countries that also suffer with the performance of this crime, to combat this crime. Therefore, when it is questioned whether domestic Brazilian public policies are effective in combating transnational traffic of women for sexual exploitation, in the face of international cooperative support, it was observed that despite Brazil's efforts to combat and repress trafficit is still not enough considering the progress and structure of criminal organizations that operate in this area, thus, if Brazil intends to establish public policies that are effective in their goals to face trafficof women, it is necessary greater investments; attention to victims, inhibiting their vulnerability; the establishment of a shared database; national and international cooperated work. | en |
