Wherever I look or I walk
I see them! They’re everywhere! It’s incredible how many Italians there are
here in Brazil! I’m talking not only about people with Italian origins but also
tourists.
Rio is probably the most
touristic city and it’s normal to see many Europeans here to have some fun
having the possibility to disconnect their brain from normal life.
I’ve seen and tasted how
much fun this place can offer: food, parties, the ocean and, of course,
beautiful girls. All these opportunities are just not enough for someone and
I’ve discovered it talking with a nice old man who was sat next to me in a bar.
Cities like Recife,
Natal, Fortaleza and Joao Pessoa, in
the north est of Brazil are famous for the sexual tourism and in these cities
we, Italians, are very present. We are in the top with Germans and Portugueses
in the list of sex tourists, especially with kids.
Natanel now is retired but working in a hotel he saw
this business changing. Now there are a lot of flies and some hotels don’t even
ask the ID to the tourists, in this way they can maintain their anonymity.
Clients can do whatever they want even if there is a number to call to denounce
these crimes but the mafia around the
sex business is just too strong!
I put here my comment about deforestation because it is impossible for me to put it in the right post. I'm sorry.
RispondiEliminaDeforestation is an emergency of our days. People must to understand that destroying our world (for example, exploiting the resources in a villain way) means to live a worse life. Nature and environment need of nonstop policies of control and protection, safeguard and conservation. They subsist on a fragile balance. We cannot think that everything is marketable. Without preservation of nature, we must to cope with problems such as pollution, brittleness of the ground, deficiency of some raw materials etc. And all this for having only a short time benefit in term of agriculture and farming. Let alone the fact that in the forest a huge amount of biodiversity characterizes our biological heritage: there are species of animals and plants that live only inside the Amazon Forest! And there is also the connection between the forest and cultural traditions of native and indigenous peoples.
We must to develop a common conscience: destroying the world (and in first place the” Green Lung”), we destroy ourselves!

Several countries have become preferred destinations for sex tourists, not only Brazil. These include Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Colombia, and Thailand.
RispondiEliminaToday I read an article about child sex tourism. Child sex tourism is tourism to engage in sex with a child prostitute. It is a criminal multi-billion - dollar industry believed to involve as many as 2 million children around the world.
That’s shocked me!
I think that tourists may be able to help where governments have failed, as visitors often come into contact with vulnerable children on their travels like don’t’ give money to children because giving children money can encourage them to approach other potentially dangerous strangers.
ECPAT is an international non-governmental organisation and network headquartered in Thailand which is designed to end commercial sexual exploitation of children. ECPAT is a presence in more than 75 nations and serves the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in Special Consultative Status.
The organization, the name of which is drawn from "End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes", was formed in 1990 in Thailand in response to the increasing practice of child prostitution in Asia.
