O trabalho infantil no tráfico de drogas por meninas adolescentes

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to study the participation of adolescent girls in the context of child labor in drug trafficking. Its more specific aims involve studying the theoretical intersections between gender and child labor in the context of the full protection of adolescent girls; describing the special legal protection against the exploitation of child labor in drug trafficking; and analyzing the context of child labor by adolescent girls in drug trafficking based on data from socio-educational care. The research poses the following question: how do issues of gender affect the context of child labor in drug trafficking? In answering the question, the work employs the deductive approach and monographic procedure methods alongside techniques derived from bibliographic and documental research. The main results found by the study were the need to produce local diagnoses with a focus on child labor in drug trafficking, as well as to improve the annual surveys carried out by Sinase [the Brazilian National System of Socio-Educational Care].
