Argentina is a primary destination for sexual and labor trafficking victims-both women and children. Some victims are sent abroad, but most are trafficked inside Argentina for commercial sexual exploitation. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Dominican Republic is another significant source of trafficking victims sent to Argentina. The Government of Argentina is making efforts, including creating laws addressing trafficking-related crimes with penalties ranging from 1 to 20 years in prison. They also created the "Luz de Infancia" project, which assisted 18 children in 2005.
Shared Hope International works to identify victims and expose predators utilizing the expertise of our Predator Project. Through undercover surveillance and numerous victims' interviews, we increase awareness and heighten efforts to combat the commercial sexual exploitation of women and children. In Argentina, this includes exposing the sellers, pimps and tourists from around the world who victimize young girls and boys.
