Prostitución en Mujeres Adultas Mayores en Bogotá: el Caso del Barrio Santa Fe, Periodo 2024.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of prostitution among elderly women in the Santa Fe neighborhood of Bogotá, within the context of corruption and its societal impact. The study highlights the lack of regulation and the neglect in implementing public policies, which leads to public health problems and crimes related to prostitution. In this scenario, elderly women are particularly vulnerable due to the lack of basic rights such as access to education and health, factors that push them to choose prostitution as a means of subsistence. The research aims to analyze these interconnections through documentary and qualitative analysis, intending to clarify how corruption perpetuates a deregulated environment that makes prostitution an economic option for these vulnerable women, instead of addressing the underlying causes and ensuring their rights. The study underscores the need for effective and specific public policies to protect this demographic group, addressing the structural causes of their exploitation and marginalization, and ensuring their access to essential services and human development opportunities. The results are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between corruption and prostitution, and to promote the well-being of elderly women in the Santa Fe neighborhood, generating a positive impact on their quality of life.
