Summary: | This article intends to analyze the testimony of a brazilian woman, who lives in the neighbourhood "Villa Delfina" in the city of Bahía Blanca -which is located in the south of the Buenos Aires province-, and who came to Argentina through a women’s sexual exploitation net. As a woman in prostitution, and because of her condition of migrant and afrodescendant, we have applied the intersectional approach to evidence the ways in which different oppressions traverse her life. Our theoretical framework is constituted by the work of feminist, Latin American, academic women who have made an effort to deconstruct different stereotypes that sexualize non-white women in our continent. On the other hand, the content and the senses built on sexual exploitation and racialization that we have analyzed were registered in a semi-structured ethnographic interview, which has also let us reflect on the role that we, as feminist researchers, have played in the construction of her story.
