Abstract

This paper discusses some conceptual issues on the trafficking and smuggling of migrants, and presents evidence on recent Brazilian immigration, the smuggling of immigrants by organized networks and the trafficking of women for sexual exploitation from Brazil to Portugal. The growing importance of organized networks and the strengthening of sex industry-related business are among the main conclusions. However, the role of informal social networks and the variable degrees of exploitation, fraud and coercion have a blurring effect on the contours of migrants' smuggling and trafficking from Brazil to Portugal.

Neste texto são apresentados alguns problemas conceptuais sobre "tráfico" e "contrabando" de migrantes, dados sobre a imigração brasileira recente e elementos sobre a actuação das redes organizadas de contrabando de migrantes e tráfico de mulheres para fins de exploração sexual do Brasil para Portugal. O aumento de importância das redes organizadas e o fortalecimento dos negócios relacionados com a indústria do sexo estão entre as principais conclusões. O apoio em redes sociais informais e graus variáveis de exploração, fraude e coacção tornam, porém, relativamente difusos os contornos do contrabando e tráfico de migrantes do Brasil para Portugal.
