Abstract
Este trabajo profundiza enlas causas de la prostitución y la trata con fines de explotación sexual, desde el análisis delas condiciones de vida de mujeres en R. Dominicana, en concreto en los Bajos de Haina. Se trata deuno de los países latinoamericanos con mayor presencia de mujeres en la prostituciónen España y Europay entre las víctimas de tratacon fines de explotación sexual. Mediante entrevistas a informantes clave y observación participante se ha recogido información cualitativa sobre las circunstancias sociales de las niñas, adolescentes y mujeres. Se puedendestacar tres características que empujan a las mujeres a la migración y al ejercicio de la prostitución: las desigualdades de género, teniendo las mujeres una posición jerárquicay subordinada a los varones; la maternidad muy precoz, con escasavinculación de la pareja, que hace asumir a las jóvenes las responsabilidades de sus hijos;la violencia de género, más en concreto violencia por parte del compañero íntimo y la violencia hacia las niñas enla unidad familiar,principalmente el incesto.La ausencia de recursos sociales eficaces que ayuden a las mujeres junto con la falta de políticas eficientes que sensibilicen y conciencien a la población sobre la equidad de género son algunas de las metas que deben acometerse
Abstract: This work delves into the causes of prostitution and trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, from the analysis of the living conditions of women in the Dominican Republic, specifically in the Bajos de Haina. It is one of the Latin American countries with the largest presence of women in prostitution in Spain and Europe and among the victims of trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Through interviews with keyinformants and participant observation, qualitative information on the social circumstances of girls, adolescents and women was collected. Three characteristics that push women to migration and the exercise of prostitutioncan be highlighted: gender inequalities, with women in a hierarchical and subordinate position to men; very precocious motherhood, with poorbonding of the couple, which makes young girls assume the responsibilities of theirchildren; gender violence,specifically violence by the intimate partner and violence towards the girls in the family unit, mainly incest. The absence of effective social resources that help women along with the lack of efficient policies that sensitize and raise awareness among the population about gender equity are some of the goals that must be met.
