Abstract

VARGAS URIAS, Mauro Antonio. A Conceptual Approximation to Male Participation in Human Trafficking for the Purpose of Sexual Exploitation in Migratory Processes in Mexico. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.89, pp.131-162. ISSN 2007-8358.

Most studies about human trafficking touch on men as the main promoters, consumers, aggressors, and generators of the dynamics that spark, maintain, and reproduce it. However, little boys and adolescent and adult males can also be victims. In addition, there is little evidence of prevention work in this field based on a perspective of examining masculinities and with the purpose of transforming the sexist mentality. This article analyzes male participation in this crime based on state of the art information and recovering best practices for its prevention founded on fostering equity and respect between the genders.

Keywords : human trafficking; masculinities; migration; gender; sexual exploitation.
