The Mexico City Legislature approved an all-embracing campaign on Wednesday against childhood sexual exploitation linked to tourism, a problem that is on the rise nationally and affects at least 5,000 minors in the Federal District.
According to the document, there are many factors contributing to
the increase of pedophilia, such as access facilities, weakness of
legal controls, inter
generational prostitution, and the huge profits
obtained from this activity.
Deputy Alejandro Ramirez declared there are municipalities in Mexico City that are considered paradises for childhood sexual tourists.
According to data from System for the Integral Development of the
Family, 50 percent of the 8,500 children on the streets in the
capital suffer from sexual abuse. Of these 8,500, 600 are under six
years of age and 70 percent have some type of addiction.
