| Descripción: | Human trafficking is a globally present phenomenon. In Mexico, trafficking for sexual exploitation constitutes a higher percentage of identified victims, predominantly women and girls. This raises the discussion of how women's identity and embodiment are intertwined with social constructs stemming from a patriarchal system and culture, which objectify and dehumanize them for the use and pleasure of others. Additionally, the capitalist system has found a profitable avenue in this practice, capitalizing on the accumulation of wealth by turning these women into commodities. Thus, in trafficking for sexual exploitation, the relationship between capitalism and patriarchy becomes evident as women's bodies transform from objects of pleasure to commodities that can be sold to the highest bidder. Regarding the methodology of this article, a bibliographic review of reports and diagnostics on the topic was conducted due to its documentary nature. Likewise, analyzing the most recent reports published on the subject in Mexico allows emphasis on the situation of women as victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation. The 2020 global report indicated a higher presence of this group in this form of trafficking. Consequently, it can be substantiated that sexual exploitation is grounded in the use of female bodies and constitutes a form of violence. |
