Abstract

Uluslararası hukuka göre, çocuk ticareti, 18 yaşından küçük bir kişinin cinsel sömürü, kölelik, zorla çalıştırma, kulluk veya organların alınması dahil olmak üzere sömürü amacıyla işe alınması, bir yerden bir yere taşınması, devredilmesi, barındırılması veya teslim alınması anlamına gelir. İnsan ticareti suçunun bir unsuru olarak çocuk ticareti, tüm ülkeleri ve bölgeleri uluslararası bir suç ağında birbirine bağlamaktadır. Her yıl çocuklar anavatanlarından başka ülkelere ya da kendi ülkeleri içinde, genellikle kırsal alanlardan kentsel alanlara kaçırılmaktadırlar. Çocuk ticareti suçu, başta Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuk Hakları Sözleşmesi olmak üzere uluslararası hukukta çocuklara garanti edilen insan haklarını ihlal etmektedir. En hızlı büyüyen ulusötesi suçlardan biri olan çocuk ticareti, çocukların hayatta kalmaları ve gelişmelerini, eğitim, sağlık ve korunma haklarını tehdit etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çocuk ticaretinin ne olduğu, yaygın nedenleri, çocuğa olan biopsikososyal etkileri ile mağdurlarının genel profili ve çocuk ticaretine karşı mücadelede odaklanılması gereken unsurlar sosyal hizmet disiplini bakış açısı ile tartışılacaktır.

UNDERSTANDING THE CRIME OF CHILD TRAFFICKING

Abstract

Under international law, child trafficking means the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of a person under the age of 18 for the purposes of sexual exploitation, slavery, forced labor, servitude or exploitation, including removal of organs. Child trafficking, as an element of the crime of human trafficking, connects all countries and regions in an international crime network. Every year, children are smuggled from their homeland to other countries or within their own country, often from rural to urban areas. The crime of trafficking in children violates the human rights guaranteed to children in international law, especially the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Child trafficking, one of the fastest growing transnational crimes, threatens the survival and development of children and their right to education, health and protection. In this study, child trafficking, its common causes, its biopsychosocial effects on children and the general profile of its victims and the elements that should be focused on in the fight against child trafficking will be discussed from the persepective of social work discipline.
