Políticas públicas de enfrentamento ao tráfico de mulheres no Brasil uma expressão da colonialidade de gênero

Abstract

This paper brings to light one of the problems obscured by the abyssal lines of social reality: the trafficking in women. As a national and internal phenomenon, it victimizes female workers and girls to meet the demands of capital and the macho culture of appropriation of women's bodies. As a transnational phenomenon, it transcends borders and denies rights to migrants who travel autonomously or forcibly, seeking opportunities or deceiving to new life "in the world abroad." Capitalism has created and provided conditions for the existence of human trafficking, and it has become more and more sophisticated in the midst of national and world production chains. However, the object of this paper is not only the existence of a crime that violates the dignity and freedom of women of different origins, class, race and age but also the incompetence of the State and the silence of much of the civil society in the face of such violations. Through this logic, the objective of this work is to critically analyze the combat policies already created and, associating these policies with a debate about intersectionality and gender mainstreaming, to indicate how they have fulfilled their role, in order to give visibility to women (according to statistics, the biggest victims of trafficking in persons) and to ensure that the proposed measures do not neglect the existing inequalities. The sources consulted were analyzed under the interdisciplinary sieve in dialogue with the theories of International Relations, in particular, under the perspective of the Latin American Postcolonial Feminist dimension. In order to achieve the mentioned objectives, it were performed: document analysis, bibliographical review, semi-structured interviews and the use of materials about the evaluation of public policies and gender mainstreaming policies, seeking to express that the negligence regarding gender specificities in policies of trafficking in women is a result of a systematic process of maintaining gender coloniality.
