and after two intense days of discussions produced the following document to be presented as a contribution of the region in the Third World Congress.
This paper seeks to briefly point out obstacles that impede the full implementation of commitments made by States, and establish those lines of action to be submitted as a proposal at the Third Regional Congress in Rio de Janeiro, considering the commitments made in the two preparatory meetings and follow the Second World Congress at the city of Montevideo (2001) and San José de Costa Rica (2004).
To this end, first recall those observations made in previous international meetings, then presented the proposals to the Region III World Congress will take the following five lines of action planned to address the issue in that Congress, and finally made general comments on issues addressed that cross all lines treated. I. Commitments made at the Preparatory Meetings outstanding.
In the two World Congresses made and their preparatory meetings have emerged different aspects of relevance to the theme of eradicating sexual exploitation of children and adolescents who have been difficult to compliance by the States of the Region . These aspects have emerged again as a concern of countries throughout the two days of work and have been taken as a starting point in the debate the Preparatory Meeting of the Third World Congress.
In this sense, in relation to public policy in the region is a very different reality.
was noted that some countries, despite the commitments, had not developed a Plan Led National to the eradication of child sexual exploitation, and other plans that had had great difficulties in its implementation. This is primarily because it is difficult to argue
state policies without adequate budgetary resources.
. This could be due, among other things, the absence of public campaigns, to the limited information provided about the subject, and lack of activities that promote awareness and advocacy on the issue.
It highlighted the persistence of culturally embedded practices regarding naturalization of the behavior of operators / users and crime. Often these practices are understood as survival strategies by the conditions of exclusion and vulnerability. With regard to prevention of the crimes noted are of vital importance that education policy that each State implement, while respecting the gender perspective.
Another point has been the lack of work on collecting information and statistical databases in each State and the Region , enabling real diagnoses for designing strategies intervention and effective monitoring of progress.
As regards the regulatory side, although there was progress in the harmonization of domestic legislation of each State with the international instruments, it is noted that some loopholes still persist, such as lack of regulation regarding child pornography and sex tourism had some of the States. 1)
This line was developed from work workshops with presentation of typical cases each of the situations of sexual exploitation, trafficking for sexual exploitation, paid sex, Child Pornography and adolescents - Use of technologies and experiences in border areas.
