Magdalena Moreno defended her doctoral thesis on the spatial configuration of human trafficking for sexual exploitation in Argentina. On December 18, 2024, Magdalena Moreno defended her doctoral thesis titled “The Spatial Configuration of Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation in Argentina, 2008-2018.” The research was supervised by Drs. Diana Lan and Mireia Baylina.
The thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the spatial configuration of this phenomenon based on representations made by state institutions, civil society organizations, and the written press. Through these perspectives, the author has been able to generate maps that visualize the role of these actors in defining spaces associated with human trafficking.
One of the key aspects of this research is the reflection on the precariousness of the visible spatial configuration of the phenomenon. The study highlights the existing limitations in understanding and addressing human trafficking from a spatial perspective, an approach that offers a more comprehensive and critical view of the issue.
This academic contribution is of great value to research in the field of human geography and studies on human trafficking, as it not only makes visible the territorial dynamics of this crime but also raises challenges for its understanding and response in terms of access to justice and victim protection.
Congratulations to Magdalena Moreno for this valuable contribution to research, which will undoubtedly enrich academic debates and public policies in the fight against human trafficking.
