Abstract
Human trafficking is an illegal action observed in the whole world,
even in Brazil. The Protocol of the United Nations against human
trafficking was ratified by Brazil in 2004. However, the country
has not shown a significant regulatory evolution. This article is
intended to analyze present and future norms to protect victims
(foreign victims, especially) of human trafficking in Brazil. First, the
article presents what is understood as human trafficking, based
on the protocol of the United Nations to prevent, repress, and
penalize human trafficking (women and children, specifically); the
article also describes some considerations about the reality of
human trafficking in Brazil and worldwide. The sequence shows
the measures taken to protect victims, contemplated in the United
Nations protocol. Finally, the article provides a list of the existing
regulatory actions and the bills than can change this reality. The
conclusion of the study indicates that Brazil still offers a weak
protection for foreign victims of human trafficking, but an optimistic
improvement perspective is shown in relation to the bills currently
analyzed by the National Congress.
