By virtue of Law Nº 28251, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) has established the National Policy against the Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents (ESNNA). Therefore, the ESNNA Code and CARLOS MACHUPICCHU maintain a joint commitment to prevent and eradicate this issue. We hereby declare that:
- We reject the Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents (ESNNA) in Peru and worldwide, in general, and particularly in its form associated with travel and tourism, as it constitutes behavior that violates the fundamental rights of people and contradicts the essential objectives of tourism activity in our country.
- We denounce and condemn those who use tourism activities, facilities, or services to promote, facilitate, or tolerate the occurrence of sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents.
CARLOS MACHUPICCHU adheres to the Code of Conduct against the Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents in the field of Tourism.
This Code represents a formal declaration of voluntary adherence, aimed at establishing behavioral guidelines for all individuals collaborating with CARLOS MACHUPICCHU, with the purpose of protecting girls, boys, and adolescents from all forms of sexual exploitation and human trafficking related to travel and tourism.
Furthermore, all members of this organization, with the objective of adopting the necessary measures to protect children and adolescents from sexual exploitation, commit to:
- Maintain an ethical policy of rejection toward the commercial sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents within the context of travel and tourism.
- Inform and train all staff about the institutional policy regarding the prevention of sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in the tourism sector.
- Display visible symbols that inform clients and providers of our stance against the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents in travel and tourism.
- Include in contracts with tourism service providers a clause expressing a shared rejection of sexual exploitation of minors. The following text will be used: “Tourism promotes a childhood and adolescence free from sexual exploitation; therefore, we do not accept any act that supports the sexual exploitation of girls, boys, and adolescents.”
