Sexual exploitation of children and adolescents is defined as the use of children’s bodies for sexual, pornographic, or erotic purposes in exchange for payment, promise of payment, or another benefit, such as food, clothing, mobile phone, etc.
This ESNNA code is attached to the ministerial resolution 430-2018-MINCETUR and an Affidavit of Mandatory Subscription to the Code of Conduct against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents that Top Notch Peru Experience SAC signs as a sign of acceptance and commitment to respect the duties of its operations to safeguard the physical integrity of children and adolescents.
