La trata de personas frente a la política migratoria ELIMINAR

Abstract

Trafficking in persons in the face of migratory policy and care for victims in Colombia, as a factor that affects the principle of human dignity, is not an easy topic to analyze, since from the legal point of view, there are many assessments and referrals that can be identified but where human rights are the ones that present the greatest violation, given the inability of the authorities to recognize the networks of traffickers that operate inside and outside the country. In accordance with article 188a of the Colombian Penal Code, human trafficking is defined as: "the recruitment, transfer, harboring or reception of a person, within the national territory or abroad, for the purpose of exploitation", a situation of great complexity that compromises the rights of women, children and adolescents who, due to their very situation of vulnerability, become an easy target for the networks, subjecting them to forced and demeaning labor at the rate of a derisory payment for the services offered. Additionally, article 3 of Law 985 of 2005 mentions exploitation as: "obtaining some economic advantage or any other benefit for oneself or for another person, through the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices analogous to slavery, servitude, exploitation of the begging of others, servile marriage, the removal of organs or other forms of exploitation. Each of these guidelines are established in the legal basis from which all investigations on the subject of human trafficking in Colombia must start, but where sadly the victims perceive it on many occasions, as a job opportunity that they It allows them to receive an income and therefore diligently attend to the needs of their families and their own. In this case, it is about people who have not only been unprotected by the State, but also involves groups of migrants within a social movement that has been characterizing many regions and territories, marked by the social situation of their countries, the scarce opportunities labor, social and economic, the political situation and forms of government, as well as the search for better income.
