Women and Globalization. Contemporary Forms of Slavery

Abstract

For the purpose of examining the problems of trafficking in persons for purposes of sexual slavery, dimensions that today reaches, its specificity, and social sectors mainly affected by such predatory activity: women and infants, I analyze the intersection of those axes that we structured generically in socio-cultural terms, which are defined sociologically to our countries, in accordance with the complexity and globalization trends. Incorporating the intersection of these axes allows to observe the systemic effect that flexibility and expansion of the movement of capital and people in the unrestricted and unregulated form in its articulation with gender patterns that they naturalize devaluation, subjection and abuse, has an impact on the inclusion of women in the process of a globalized trend economy is in these predatory forms.
