Tráfico de pessoas na fronteira Brasil – Bolívia: interseccionalidade e a luta de classes: uma análise dos alvos à margem entre os anos de 2014 e 2024

Abstract

This literature review focuses on human trafficking on the Brazil-Bolivia border, analyzing the intersectional dynamics of gender, race, and social class between 2014 and 2024. The research seeks to understand how the socioeconomic vulnerability of marginalized groups, especially women, indigenous people, and migrants, influences human trafficking and how class struggle is reflected in the exploitation of these populations. The theoretical framework is based on studies of intersectionality and class struggle, addressing authors such as Silva (2018) and Teixeira and Almeida (2015), who explore the connections between social inequality and criminal practices. Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative approach, based on an inductive-deductive analysis, which examines specific cases of exploitation and trafficking, identifying patterns and testing hypotheses about the effectiveness of public policies to combat this crime. The results indicate that, in the last decade, the intersectionality of gender, social class and race has played a crucial role in the selection of victims, with women, children and indigenous people being the main targets of criminal networks. The research also reveals that the lack of effective public policies and limited monitoring in border areas, combined with corruption, contribute to the perpetuation of human trafficking. The study highlights the urgent need to implement more inclusive and specific policies to protect these marginalized groups. Strengthening international cooperation between Brazil and Bolivia, in addition to the support of international organizations, is highlighted as an essential measure to reduce human trafficking in the region. The review concludes that combating this phenomenon requires a multidisciplinary approach, considering the specificities of each vulnerable group and the complex social and economic dynamics that involve them.
