En este artículo presento evidencias que constatan cómo la prostitución es un proceso de deshumanización permanente de las mujeres, que se construye y se reproduce, como el lugar de encuentro entre el neoliberalismo y la explotación patriarcal de los cuerpos femeninos. Aporto un análisis geopolítico feminista y exploro los factores que explican el hecho de que las mujeres nigerianas Edo sean las víctimas extracomunitarias mayoritarias de trata sexual en Europa, en un contexto de expansión, sofisticación y tecnificación de la industria del sexo y la cultura prostitucional, que se expresa llamativamente en la creación de muñecas sexuales de silicona, incluso infantiles, y su evolución en robots sexuales. Expongo cómo la dinámica neocolonial, la sobreexplotación de recursos naturales, el empobrecimiento y los desplazamientos forzados, son la plataforma actual que sostiene parte del mecanismo que opera en el núcleo de la prostitución nigeriana del siglo XXI.
This paper evidences how prostitution is a process of permanent dehumanization of women. This process is built and reproduced as one place where neoliberalism coincides with the patriarchal exploitation of female bodies. I present a feminist geopolitical analysis and explore the factors that explain the fact that Nigerian Edo women are the most prevalent victims of sex-trafficking in Europe. All this happens within the context of expansion, sophistication and technification of the sex industry together with the prostitution culture, which is ostensibly visible in the creation of hyper-real silicon sexual dolls –even childlike- and their evolution to sex robots. I draw on how the neo-colonial dynamics, the overexploitation of natural resources, the impoverishment and the forced displacement of people are the current platform that sustains part of the mechanism that operates at the core of Nigerian prostitution in the 21st century.
