Prevention of Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys and Adolescents in the Tourism Sector (ESNNA)
SEC is the use of the bodies of minors for sexual, pornographic, or erotic purposes in exchange for payment, a promise of payment, or another benefit, such as food, clothing, a cell phone, etc.
In this context, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) seeks to raise awareness among regional and local authorities, tourism service providers, and the general public through preventive actions aimed at eradicating this problem in the country.
Actions
Technical assistance to regional and local governments: We train officials working in regional and local governments on the prevention of the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in the tourism sector.
Informative videos: We provide audiovisual material to raise awareness among officials and tourism service providers and teach them good practices for preventing SEC.
Capacity building for tourism service providers: We raise awareness, inform, and share best practices with tourism service providers regarding the prevention of sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.
Dissemination of the signatures of codes of conduct against sexual exploitation of children and adolescents: We disseminated the signatures of the Mandatory Affidavit of Subscription to the Code of Conduct against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents by the legal representatives of tourism service providers. This is in accordance with Law No. 30802, which establishes conditions for the entry of children and adolescents into lodging establishments, with the aim of ensuring their protection and safety.
