En este texto nos aproximamos a las mujeres africanas que se encuentran en una posible situación de trata con fines de explotación sexual. Nos proponemos analizar la complejidad de la trata de seres humanos (TSH), su fuerte vinculación con las políticas migratorias, y la relación simplificadora que a menudo se establece entre este fenómenos y la prostitución. Cuestionamos la utilización de la categoría "victima de trata" al considerarla una etiqueta estigmatizadora que niega la capacidad de toma de decisiones de estas mujeres, y un papel activo en la dirección de sus propias vidas. Por último, reflexionaremos sobre los problemas a los que estas migrantes se enfrentan, y cómo todos estos factores inciden en el modo en las instituciones públicas y privadas atienden sus necesidades. Visibilizamos a las mujeres africanas en situación de trata como sujetos de derecho frente a los discursos políticos y las prácticas asistenciales dominantes en la intervención social. Revisamos el rol de los agentes de intervención y resaltamos la necesidad del protagonismo de las propias mujeres durante estos procesos. ; In this text we approach African women who are in a possible situation of trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. We propose to analyze the complexity of trafficking in human beings (TSH), its strong link with immigration policies, and the simplifying relationship that is often established between this phenomenon and prostitution. We question the use of the category "victim of trafficking" when considering it a stigmatizing label that denies the decision-making capacity of these women, and an active role in directing their own lives. Finally, we will reflect on the problems that these migrants face, and how all these factors affect the way in which public and private institutions attend to their needs. We make African women in trafficking visible as subjects of law in the face of the dominant political discourses and welfare practices in social intervention. We review the role of intervention agents and highlight the need for the role of women themselves during these processes. ; Universidad Pablo de Olavide

AbstractDepopulation of the rural world jeopardises the continuity of many communities and the socioecosystems they support. In response to this situation, diverse strategies are activated to ensure the continuity of these socioecosystems. All these initiatives seek, directly or indirectly, to strengthen community resilience, with a view to making the changes required to reverse the population trend. One of the most obvious, but least studied, effects of depopulation is the abandonment of housing, which initially implies urban deterioration and collapse but which can also become an opportunity if these abandoned houses are turned into a resource at different levels and in different arenas. An ethnographic case study conducted in the Sierra de Aracena Mountains (South West Spain) allows us to explore the link between housing and community resilience, helping us understand how the use and management of redundant housing can be a fundamental component of resilience in rural settings marked by depopulation.
