Sex Trafficking in South America
Sex trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery that coerces individuals into commercial
sex. It also includes the use of minors in commercial sex, even without force or coercion. Sex
trafficking targets vulnerable people in society and uses threats, violence, or false promises. The
means and purpose of the sexual activities distinguish sex trafficking from other commercial sex
such as prostitution. Sexual trafficking uses force and fraud, which is an indication that the
individuals did not consent to it (Hogan, 2019). South America is a prominent destination of
humans trafficked for sex across the world. Statistics from the International Labor Organization
show that a significant percentage of individuals trafficked in 2012 came from Latin America.
Sex trafficking thrives in South America due to the violation of human rights, inequalities, and
socio-economic processes such as poverty.
High demand for sexual laborers drives sex trafficking in South America as demand and
supply play a role in the market. Individuals who purchase commercial sex increase the demand
for sex trafficking; hence, acting as an incentive for traffickers to exploit trafficking victims.

also fuel sex trafficking. Law enforcement agencies are blamed for high cases of trafficking
cases in Latin America as they take bribes from traffickers and fail to stop the illegal activity

trafficking networks in the region take advantage of vulnerable people in society and recruit
them for commercial sex. The vulnerable groups in the community, such as the impoverished,
unemployed, and the indigenous people, are culprits of sexual exploitation. Besides, gay and
bisexual individuals are vulnerable to sex trafficking. The vulnerability of these groups in

Sex traffickers target people with a history of sexual assault or violence and kidnap them.
Most of the perpetrators lure their victims with promises of work and better opportunities in
other countries. The migration takes place without a contract of exploitation as the victims are
vulnerable people in society. There are prostitution networks in countries such as Venezuela and
Peru, which lure individuals to sign non-existent contracts for the promise of work in the USA or
Europe. After identifying the victims, the perpetrators process travels passports and pay air
tickets for the victims. The perpetrators traffic the victims to destinations such as Italy or the
USA, where they end up working as commercial sex workers. Inequalities and violation of
human rights of the victims force most of the trafficked persons to agree with the terms of their
masters and work as prostitutes.
In some cases, the perpetrators kidnap the vulnerable people in remote areas and transport
them to other countries for...
