Item type:Publication, Human trafficking in the Andean region: Socio-spatial dynamics in the Peruvian borders(FLACSO Ecuador, 2020-09-01)La trata de personas es una actividad ilegal que afecta la dignidad y libertad de miles de personas, especialmente mujeres, sin embargo, es poco analizada y aún marginal en el debate público. El presente artículo explora las dinámicas socio-espaciales de la trata de personas en las fronteras del Perú con Ecuador y Bolivia en el período 2000-2014, para aportar en el análisis de la complejidad en la relación de la actividad ilegal y el territorio. El estudio se sustenta en revisión de prensa escrita, información estadística de instituciones estatales competentes en la materia y fuentes secundarias de organismos internacionales. Los principales hallazgos se presentan en dos niveles. Primero, se identifica tres tipos de trata de personas, en ambos espacios de frontera, con diferencias por el nivel de complejidad, desplazamiento y características de la actividad. Segundo, se muestra la frontera como lugar de porosidad más que de solidez convirtiéndose en sitio estratégico para la trata, dado que i) permite la configuración de circuitos, pasos y rutas; ii) incorpora la trata en la dinámica local; iii) incluye la migración como un eje de reproducción de la vulnerabilidad y iv) visibiliza las conexiones sistémicas del mercado ilegal a escala global. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Woman traders and cross-border circuits: Articulations between care and mobility on the borders of Peru, Bolivia and Chile(Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, 2024-01-01)Cross-border trade is predominantly conducted by women, and involves the movement and articulation of extensive networks for the circulation (formal or not) of products. Engaging with the perspectives of mobility and gender in border studies, this article examines the configuration of cross-border circuits of women traders. The article demonstrates how commercial activities and caregiving are intertwined in these circuits and discusses this overlap through four socio-spatial arrangements: home, places of sale, border crossing and supply locations. The research is based in two Peruvian cities with border conditions—Tacna (bordering Chile) and Puno (bordering Bolivia)—and involved 62 semi-structured interviews with women engaged in various commercial activities in 2022-2023, primarily second-hand clothing and groceries. These activities are part of a global chain of merchandise circulation that closely links the three countries (Bolivia, Chile, and Peru). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Border closure and COVID-19: Impact on the lodging and restaurant business in Tacna (Perú)(Universidad de Tarapaca, 2024-01-01)The COVID-19 pandemic caused the stoppage of the movement of people globally, a situation that especially affected tourism as an economic activity. This article addresses the impact of the closure of the Peruvian-Chilean border during the COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel and gastronomic sector of Tacna. Through a qualitative methodology that included a bibliographic review, economic data analysis, and semi-structured interviews with hotel and restaurant owners and managers, we investigated the problems they had to face during the pandemic and the strategies to overcome them. The findings indicate that until March 2020 both items experienced strong growth within the framework of cross-border practices from Chileans to Tacna, within which enjoying Peruvian food was one of the main attractions. The pandemic forced small hotels and restaurants to deploy strategies such as layoffs and the provision of family labor to overcome the crisis and convert to delivery food. The largest and most formalized companies accessed subsidies and support from the state and in other cases, the reconversion was hand in hand with agreements with mining companies to house workers while the health emergency lasted.
