La ofensiva lanzada por el gobierno brasileño sobre el debate sobre género y sexualidades ha sido una constante desde las últimas elecciones presidenciales. En este estudio, se analizan algunos de los discursos pronunciados por sus representantes que centran las discusiones en un punto común antiprogresista y se investiga cuál ha sido la repercusión práctica de esos mensajes que se han definido como ejes importantes de su postura ideológica partidaria. De acuerdo con la perspectiva crítica introducida por la teoría queer, se busca además dibujar un breve panorama, dentro del marco internacional, de la percepción de Brasil en lo que cabe a demandas ligadas a igualdad de género y respeto a la diversidad, y asimismo se plasma la cuestión a nivel nacional, entendiéndola desde una relación indisociable con las dinámicas de violencia.
While sex and money may appear as subversive notions, attracting easily all the attention, it is also true that the issues raised in this article are, paradoxically, largely invisibilised. This invisibility seems to counterbalance the importance of the phenomena described in this work and justifies it in itself. Indeed, by coming back to the various mechanisms that lead to the immigration, voluntary or not, of Brazilian trans women and travestis to Europe, this article aims to emphasise the social and concrete realities suffered by these victims and related to their sexual exploitation. If, as we will see in our study, this particu-lar migration is explained and driven by a strong desire to accomplish themselves more freely and decently in Europe and thus escape social realities such as discriminations and attacks that are part of their daily lives in Brazil, it is clear that when they arrive in Europe, these victims are confronted with a harsh reality, where their rights are violated and where a return to the past appears sometimes impossible. From a socio-anthropological and legal perspective, the objective of this work is to look at the characteristics of this sexual trafficking, which, as we shall see, can be identified as a form of modern slavery. We will, therefore, discuss the key notions and concepts related to this issue, before analysing the concrete manifestations of this form of modern slavery and attempting to explain it.
