The Sick Men Travelling to Brazil for Sex With Children
Synopsis
Two million children worldwide are forced to sell their bodies to survive, often facing severe abuse and exploitation in slums across Brazil.
Synopsis
In the slum of Pirambu, Fortaleza, children search for food and safety but often find themselves selling their bodies to tourists. Many, like a 12-year-old boy, speak of the pressure to engage in prostitution. Organizations like NGO Curumins attempt to rescue these children, but many remain on the streets. Law enforcement works to combat child exploitation, as highlighted by a recent raid in Itinga, Salvador, where children were found in a prostitution ring. The film portrays the stark choices these children face in a cycle of poverty and abuse.
