Criminal offense against minors is a subject perceived as 'difficult' or 'taboo' in our
actual society. Thinking that someone can exert any kind of violence on a person that
can't defend themselves can be quite harsh.
However, this reality is an existing one in every nation of the world, including Spain.
Precisely, -by virtue of its historical circumstances-, Spain has an interesting story with
the abuse and defense of minors, and as such, this is a controversial subject nowadays.
Child trafficking is one of these taboo, controversial themes, even more having in
consideration that adult trafficking already creates repulse by itself.
By reading the title of this essay, one could easily raise the question: does child
trafficking really exist in Spain? Debating its existence, or nonexistence, is precisely
one of the main aims of this essay.
And with this question come several others: do actions against trafficking on behalf of
the Spanish government exist? And on behalf of Europe? How is child trafficking seen
from the outside? But, from the point of view of journalism, the first and foremost
question is: What do we do with this informations?
The press, so tightly related to society, is the first entity that must pick up on this crime,
that must 'worry about' child trafficking. That's why it could be argued that the
following essay has two big thematic blocks that repeat all over its different parts: one
centered on society, and another one centered on journalism.
All of these themes, and several more, will be examined in this essay with the final
purpouse of shedding light on a crime that is as unknown as is harmful for its victims.
