Sexual Offences

Paedophilia—a sexual preference for the body scheme of pre-pubescent children—is defined as a disorder within the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization as well as within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. Contrary to popular belief, not all sex offenders who target children are paedophiles, and not all paedophiles commit sexual offences. But quite obviously paedophilia is an emotionally charged and controversial topic, which might be an explanation for putting it out of focus within the healthcare system. Mental health professionals are mainly (and worldwide) not well trained in terms of assessment methods and intervention techniques available to develop and implement effective policies and practices. This presents an obstacle for prevention, in that proactive strategies to protect children from child sexual abuse and sexual exploitation by online offences, such as the consumption or distribution of child abusive images (so-called child pornography), which emphasises the internationally relevant dimension of the issue. The article will address key concerns and questions in dealing with this clinically relevant population, offer insights into a primary prevention approach developed in Germany, and discuss the situation on a European level.

Legal Provisions

To ensure a proper prevention and combating of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse against children the provisions of the special parts of Moldovan and Romanian Criminal Codes should be in line with art. 18-23 of Lanzarote Convention. However, Moldovan and Romanian Criminal Codes do not reflect entirely these provisions. Unjustified deflections from the provisions of art. 18-23 of Lanzarote Convention have a negative impact on unifying the international provisions on preventing and combating sexual exploitation and sexual abuse against children. To facilitate the compatibility of the special parts of Moldovan and Romanian Criminal Codes with Lanzarote Convention, the authors of this article highlight solutions to improve legal provisions.

Abstract. Sexual crimes occur not only in urban areas but also in villages. This crime has a big impact especially the majority of victims are children. LRSAMPK Darussa’adah is an institution whose role is to provide services for victims.

The results showed that the types of child sexual abuse cases handled by LRSAMPK Darussa’adah were rape, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, neglect of the baby, sexual abuse and abduction for sexual purposes. The accompanying strategy in terminating child sexual abuse cases is to convince the victims’ families and communities by involving referrals, “geuchik”, social workers and related agencies. The challenges of Darussa’adah social workers are when client stakeholders are difficult to ask for information about victims and there are some people who refuse and some accept victims. The support received by Darussa’adah social workers is when the referrals are willing to work together to find ways to facilitate the termination of victims, and also families and there are still people who are willing to accept among the majority of people who refuse victims returning,  Abstrak.

Political Implications

This chapter focuses on the macro- and institutional-level impacts of sexual exploitation and abuse. It shows that sexual misconduct in individual missions has far-reaching impacts that reduce international capacities to engage effectively in peace operations and diminish the perceived legitimacy of the international community engaged in peacekeeping and peacebuilding, thereby undermining the international community's capacity to pursue the broader aspirational goals that animate peacekeeping. Sexual misconduct also seeds conflict between different organizational or peacekeeping units as a result of perceived misbehaviors and undermines the morale of peacekeepers and humanitarians. This can result in reduced financial and other support for peace operations and related work and provide fodder for anti-intervention campaigners. Tracking the international responses to the 2015 peacekeeper sexual abuse scandal in the Central African Republic and the 2018 Oxfam sexual exploitation scandal in Haiti, the chapter also explores the global political implications of such scandals.

Critical Attention

The role of social workers in safeguarding and child protection has received much critical attention in recent years, in an evolving political and social arena, where policy and practice has shifted following both public outcry of serious case reviews and subsequent policy and practice changes concerning the profession and how it services the needs of the most vulnerable in society. This article seeks to critically examine the current methodology for identifying suspected child sexual abuse signs and indicators, the evolving spectrum of abuse, including critical evaluation of current perspectives on child sexual exploitation.

Physical And Sexual Abuse

Purpose Although some research has been done with entertainment workers in KTV bars, little has been done to gain a qualitative understanding of the vulnerabilities of masseuse women. This is due to a prevalent focus on girls under 18 years, thereby excluding most masseuses. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In total, 98 female participants completed an interview answering both open and closed questions concerning relationships, stigma and discrimination and personal sexual abuse among other topics. Findings This study finds that many women working in the massage parlor industry are vulnerable to various threats, including sexual exploitation and abuse. Dependency structures within the massage parlor as well as with their families seem to play a key role in the life situations that can be positive as well as negative, and in some cases both. Social implications The findings provide a baseline evaluation of the vulnerable conditions of the massage industry for women in Cambodia. Specifically, that stigma, discrimination, physical and sexual abuse, as well as a lack of access to education are all vulnerabilities not commonly covered, especially with adult women working in the entertainment industry. This research has been adapted from the original transcript “Strive, No Matter What” (Miles et al., 2014). Originality/value The paper seeks to understand the reality of life and vulnerabilities as perceived by Phnom Penh’s female masseuses in the lower-priced massage parlors which is largely unknown.

Revisão sistemática - RS é um processo metodológico que sintetiza resultados de estudos sobre determinado tema. A RS seleciona pesquisas relevantes no âmbito teórico-prático para a pesquisa bibliográfica. A presente RS teve como objetivo conhecer a realidade da ESCCA – Exploração Sexual e Comercial de Crianças e Adolescentes em nosso país em uma perspectiva fenomenológica, a partir do olhar de pesquisas empíricas. Descritores em língua portuguesa foram: exploração sexual comercial, violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes -abuso sexual contra crianças e adolescentes, tráfico sexual de crianças e adolescentes, turismo sexual, pornografia infantil e pedofilia. Foram encontradas 76 publicações nas bases de dados eletrônicas: Google acadêmico, Scielo e Portal de periódicos da Capes, sendo que 22 estudos preencheram os critérios de inclusão: i) estudos empíricos: ii) entre 1990 e 2011; iii) publicados em Língua Portuguesa; iv) sobre quaisquer tipos de exploração, exclusivamente, para o público de crianças e adolescentes. Constatou-se que a problemática da ESCCA está banhada de pluridimensionalidade, que não se esgota na violência da opressão socioeconômica e de reconhecimento da condição humana; implica na produção de um sistema simbólico gerador de estigma cultural, que traz impactos sobre todas as dimensões do ser com implicações locais, pessoais, políticas e planetária. A partir do diálogo teórico entre as pesquisas empíricas desta RS e estudiosos da área, pode-se concluir que a temática precisa ser aprofundada, em suas especificidades, para que os vulneráveis invisíveis e suscetíveis a todo tipo de violência simbólica da nossa sociedade desigual não permaneçam nesta situação.Palavras-chave: Ensino. Educação. Exploração Sexual Comercial. Violência.AbstractSystematic review - RS is a methodological process that synthesizes results of studies on a given theme. The RS selects relevant research inthe theoretical-practical scope for the bibliographic research. The purpose of this present RS was to know the reality of ESCCA - Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents in our country in a phenomenological perspective from the perspective of empirical research. Descriptors in Portuguese: sexual violence against children and adolescents, sexual abuse of children and adolescents, sexual trafficking of children and adolescents, sexual tourism, child pornography and pedophilia; 76 publications were found in the electronic databases: Google academic, Scielo and Portal of journals of Capes, 22 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria: i) empirical studies: ii) between 1990 and 2011; iii) published in Portuguese; iv) on any kind of exploitation exclusively for the public of children and adolescents. It was verified that the ESCCA problem is loaded with multidimensionality, which is not barred with the violence of socioeconomic oppression and recognition of the human condition; It implies the production of a symbolic system that generates cultural stigma, which impacts on all dimensions of being with local, personal, political and planetary implications. From the theoretical dialogue between the empirical researches of this RS and scholars in the area, it can be concluded that the theme needs to be deepened in its specificities, so that the vulnerable individuals which are invisible and susceptible to all kinds of symbolic violence of our unequal society do not remain in this situation.Keywords: Teaching. Education. Commercial Sexual Exploitation. Violence.
