Tráfico internacional de mulheres: fronteira Brasil/Bolívia, violência estrutural e a questão de gênero

Abstract

The present study limits itself to approaching trafficking in women for purposes of sexual exploitation, since the subject is quite broad, ranging from trafficking in girls to trafficking, slavery, forced labor or practices similar to slavery, servitude or removal of organs, among others. An apparent similarity between this offense and other forms of transnational displacement, such as migration, for example, creates a misperception about its concept. This is a very controversial subject even among scholars, because it is one of the most divergent points between researchers, organizations and States and, consequently, their respective legislations, which are now conceptualized in one way or another. another. In order to avoid this trap, in view of the lack of consolidated concepts on the subject, the concepts adopted by the Palermo Convention and its protocols, the main international status to deal with this issue, were adopted as parameters in this study. used as a parameter in the international scope and also here in Brazil. We will use as theoretical framework the Theory of Intersectionality, to understand the intersection between the themes of trafficking in women and international female migration. We will analyze with the utmost prudence questions and concerns about the relationship between the object and the subjects of this study. In this sense, aware that the national and regional scientific knowledge about the problem on the screen is still very incipient, with few researches and works on the subject, a research plan was drawn up that was simultaneously both difficult and stimulating. We will address the trafficking of women on the Brazil-Bolivia border, as well as the Public Policies to combat trafficking in persons and attention to the victims. In order to facilitate the understanding of the issues under analysis, this dissertation is structured in three chapters.
