ESNNA – Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents

The Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents (ESNNA) is a serious issue that severely violates the fundamental rights of minors. It involves using children and adolescents in sexual or erotic acts or representations to satisfy the interests or desires of others in exchange for money or other benefits.

These actions constitute abuse and deprive minors of their most basic rights. To learn more about this important topic, we invite you to visit: https://www.mincetur.gob.pe/esnna/
