성착취 피해 아동·청소년 지원 경험에 관한 연구 - 법 개정 이후 현장 실무 중심으로 -

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore practitioners' experiences in supporting children and adolescents who have been sexually exploited. Specifically, following the revision of the law regarding "victimized children and adolescents," this research aimed to uncover real-world experiences of practitioners in providing support to these victims. To achieve this, individual in-depth interviews were conducted with six practitioners working in organizations known to support sexually exploited children and adolescents, using purposive and snowball sampling. Collected data were analyzed using general qualitative research methods and inductive thematic analysis. Findings identified five major themes and sixteen categories: (1) changing aspects of sexual exploitation, (2) realities of victims, (3) gaps between legal revisions and field practices, (4) path to recovery, and (5) factors hindering effective support. Based on these findings, this study provided several recommendations to enhance practical and sustainable support for children and adolescents who have been sexually exploited.
