Sexual exploitation of boys, girls and adolescents. Understanding to transform. Study of work practices with survivors implemented by a child protection association in Madagascar

Abstract

This article shows the results of research carried out with a specialised resource offering care to young persons in situations of sexual exploitation in Madagascar. In recent decades, sexual exploitation has assumed a dimension and characteristics that are reflective of this globalised era. The significance of the problem requires a solid and well-designed theoretical framework that permits the implementation of pertinent actions to help overcome and transform the reality that foments and maintains this problem. The research conducted is aimed at contributing to the creation of meaningful knowledge in this area, incorporating the most important knowledge and working frameworks in the field, as well as professional practices and the experiences of the young persons involved.
