The two countries of
South America which the curse of sexual tourism is the most important are Brazil
and Mexico. In brazil, the sexual turism is real since a long time, and is
fixed in the culture and in the past, there were in the years 1980-1990, a lot
of advertising where we could see brazilian’s sculptures stripped . But the
situation is escalated with the football world cup of 2014 and the coming of
many tourists of all around the world. In Mexico, the sexual tourism is
especially develop in Mexico and near the border between Mexico and United States
of America. The victims are essentially women and children. The two countries
have laws which protect the children of prostitution but these laws aren’t
respected. In Brazil, Suzana who live in the north east area of the country
which is the area the most poor but the area where there are the most beautiful
beaches which attract many tourist says: "One day, a friend said me: come, it
will be fun !We went to the Ponta Negra beach because there were a lot of
tourists. We were waiting them, they arrived by car and we left with them." There are some children
prostitution’s networks with mexican children in the big cities of America which are cover and
protect by big american companies.
In Brazil, there are a lot of structures and organisations which try to
fight against sexual tourism like the ONG Plan international, politics or
football players like Kaka who start an sensibilisation campaign where he poses
on advertising posters with some messages. For example, the ONG plan
international organizes a prevention campaign in the places touristic like
the airport or the hotels. The ONG local offers a support psychological
at the victims to help them to reintroduce in the society, to find a new job
and to take self-confidence. In Mexico, there is an association for women
called: "the Female Association of Tourist Enterprise
Executive" which denounce the situation and all the consequences this form of tourism have
on these women.
