ESNNA Commitment
Prevention of Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents in the context of travel and tourism
What is ESNNA?
ESNNA stands for Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents in the context of Travel and Tourism. It is a fundamental violation of children's rights that involves sexual abuse of minors by adults and payment in cash or in kind to the child or adolescent, or to a third party.
The child is treated as a sexual object and a commodity, constituting a form of coercion and violence against children that may involve forced labor and contemporary forms of slavery.
Legal Framework in Peru
In compliance with Law No. 28251, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) has established the National Policy against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents.
This law incorporated the crimes of user-client and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in the context of tourism. Likewise, Law No. 30802 establishes provisions for the protection of minors in the tourism sector.
This agency does not admit minors under 18 years of age unaccompanied by their parents, guardians, or a duly accredited responsible person.
