Migrants are in a situation far superior to any other vulnerability but, in the case of women, it is still much higher. brighton In the last book published by Cristianisme i Justícia, Sonia Herrera makes an analysis of migration processes from a gender perspective, addressing brighton the reality of migrant women and violence against them.
"For they are women," says Herrera, "migrants take more risks, especially if the victims of sexual assault or sexual exploitation." The attacks and abuses suffered are usually directed against sexuality, attacking their physical, mental and emotional integrity and causing major consequences on their sexual and reproductive health. The situation is particularly precarious when these women are trafficked by trafficking brighton networks and become the subject of sexual violence and abuse by the very men who carry them.
It is a common reality in the world, although there are some points where the violence is particularly acute, as the border between the United States and Mexico, Kenya and Somalia to Haiti with the Dominican Republic. In these cases women come to accept as an inescapable fate that suffer sexual assault or be raped in their migration, falling into a state of "learned helplessness", which leads even to potent injected contraceptives before starting the journey.
The response of the authorities should ensure that their safety is often indifference, discrimination and ineffectiveness. "In practice," reports the book, "the legal systems of many countries where assaults are committed no warranties on women to defend their rights and preserve their freedom of movement and physical and psychological integrity."
For the author, the patriarchal and sexist culture is dominant legitimizing the subordination of women perpetuating violence. brighton This reality, "often hidden or is treated as a residual in the traditional media," he says.
