| description | The paper demonstrates common mechanisms underlying state control of prostitute and pregnant women. On a global level, institutional regulation of pregnancy and prostitution has been incorporated into “population control” and “migration control” under the name of “family planning” and “anti trafficking”. Although those policies fit within a coherent system, reproductive and sexual issues are most often isolated, or framed as ideological and strategic opposites, also by feminist theorists and activists. This false dichotomy reinforces the division of women and colludes with social hypocrisy and injustice.<br>El artículo muestra los mecanismos comunes subyacentes en el control estatal a mujeres prostitutas y embarazadas. Aun nivel global, la regulación institucional del embarazo y de la prostitución ha sido incorporada al “control de la población” y al “control de la migración” bajo el nombre de “planeamiento familiar” y “antitráfico”. Aunque estas políticas se incluyen dentro de un sistema coherente, las cuestiones sobre reproducción y sexualidad son muy a menudo aisladas o enmarcadas como oposiciones ideológicas y estratégicas, incluso por feministas teóricos y activistas. Esta falsa dicotomía refuerza la división de la mujer y refuerza la hipocresía social y la injusticia. |
