description   Human trafficking is a transnational crime that is mainly concentrated in the form of sexual exploitation. Most of the victims are women and girls. The objective of the article is to identify the prevention strategies against trafficking of children and adolescents identified in the actions of civil society organizations in the Bogotá region, Colombia. Based on the methods of the interview and the survey, with the consolidation of the information in an Organizational Capabilities Index matrix, a measurement is made, according to the strategies of national and international organizations, and the challenges for understanding the phenomenon. It is concluded that ignorance of the ways in which the human trafficking market operates and the lack of strategies that assume the impacts of these commercial and lucrative practices leaves organizations behind in the face of a crime that arises from structural socioeconomic inequalities and is constantly changing.

Most of the victims are women and girls. The objective of the article is to identify the prevention strategies against trafficking of children and adolescents identified in the actions of civil society organizations in the Bogotá region, Colombia. Based on the methods of the interview and the survey, with the consolidation of the information in an Organizational Capabilities Index matrix, a measurement is made, according to the strategies of national and international organizations, and the challenges for understanding the phenomenon. It is concluded that ignorance of the ways in which the human trafficking market operates and the lack of strategies that assume the impacts of these commercial and lucrative practices leaves organizations behind in the face of a crime that arises from structural socioeconomic inequalities and is constantly changing. La trata de personas es un crimen transnacional que se concentra sobre todo en la modalidad de explotación sexual. Sus principales víctimas son mujeres y niñas. El objetivo del artículo es presentar las estrategias de prevención frente a la trata de niñas, niños y adolescentes que se identifican en el accionar de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil en la región de Bogotá, Colombia. A partir de las técnicas de entrevista y encuesta, se consolida información en una matriz de Índice de Capacidades Organizacionales (ICO) y se hace una medición frente a las estrategias identificadas desde organizacionales nacionales e internacionales, y los desafíos que se desprenden para abordar el fenómeno. Se concluye que el desconocimiento de las formas en que opera el mercado de la trata de personas y la falta de estrategias que asuman los impactos de estas prácticas mercantiles y lucrativas dejan rezagadas a las organizaciones ante un delito que surge de las desigualdades socioeconómicas estructurales y que se transforma constantemente.   Abstract Human trafficking is a transnational crime that is mainly concentrated in the form of sexual exploitation.
