Los estudios de flujos migratorios irregulares han tendido a representar a la mujer como un ser vulnerable y pasivo, a merced de la explotación y la violencia infligida por los hombres involucrados en el tráfico de personas. Los datos presentados en este artículo ponen de manifiesto el papel activo de la mujer en los tránsitos irregulares africanos y se destaca, por un lado, las cambiantes relaciones de poder, y por otro, el resultado de las políticas migratorias en la instrumentalización de la mujer. Estos datos se basan en observaciones y entrevistas etnográficas llevadas a cabo con veinte africanos y cinco haitianos durante dieciocho meses de trabajo de campo en tres ciudades de México.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This paper analyzes women's role in the facilitation of African and Haitian migrants' irregular transits across the Americas, in particular, across Mexico. Studies of irregular migratory flows had usually represented women as a vulnerable and passive being, at the mercy of exploitation and violence inflicted by men involved in human trafficking. The data presented in this paper shows the active women's role in the Africans' irregular transits and highlights, on one side, the changing power relations, and on the other side, the outcome of migratory politics on women's instrumentalization. These data are based on observations and ethnographic interviews made with twenty Africans and five Haitians along eighteen months of fieldwork in three Mexican cities.]]></p></abstract>
