| description | Human trafficking is an illegal activity that harms the dignity and freedom of thousands of people, many of them women; but which is still not a priority in public debates and about which there is still little information. This article explores the socio-spatial dynamics of human trafficking on the national borders of Peru, as a contribution to the study of the complex relationships that exist between criminal activity and territory. The analysis of human trafficking in the borders between Peru and Ecuador and between Peru and Bolivia during the period 2000-2014 is based on a hemerographic review, statistical information generated by government sources competent in the matter and secondary data produced by international organizations. The article argues that borders constitute a strategic site for human trafficking in four different ways: i) they allow the formation of circuits, stages and itineraries that: ii) facilitate the incorporation of this criminal activity as a part of local life iii) they increase the dangers and vulnerabilities of cross-border migration and iv) they reveal the systemic connections of this illegal market to global processes. |

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. O tráfico de pessoas é uma atividade ilegal que atinge a dignidade e a liberdade de milhares de pessoas, principalmente mulheres, porém, é pouco analisada e ainda marginal no debate público. Este artigo explora a dinâmica sócio espacial do tráfico de pessoas nas fronteiras do Peru com o Equador e a Bolívia no período 2000-2014, a fim de contribuir para a análise da complexidade da relação entre a atividade ilegal e o território. O estudo é baseado em uma revisão da imprensa escrita, informações estatísticas de instituições estatais competentes na matéria e fontes secundárias de organismos internacionais. As principais conclusões são apresentadas em dois níveis: em primeiro lugar, são identificados três tipos de tráfico de pessoas, em ambas as áreas de fronteira, com diferenças devido ao nível de complexidade, deslocamento e características da atividade; em segundo lugar, a fronteira apresenta-se mais como um local de porosidade do que de solidez, tornando-se um local estratégico para o tráfico, visto que i) permite a configuração de circuitos, cruzamentos e rotas; ii) incorpora o tráfico na dinâmica local; iii) inclui a migração como eixo de reprodução da vulnerabilidade; e, iv) torna visíveis as conexões sistêmicas do mercado ilegal em escala global.
