El impacto en la salud biopsicosocial de las mujeres víctimas de trata
Abstract
El propósito de este artículo es revisar el impacto de la Trata de Seres Humanos en la salud integral de las víctimas mujeres y niñas. Las repercusiones principales han sido la violencia (física, sexual y psicológica); los problemas en la salud mental (con altos niveles de ansiedad, depresión y trastorno de estrés postraumático); la pérdida de la salud social (restricciones de movimiento, falta de apoyo social, escasa seguridad en el trabajo y la vida); daños en la salud física (problemas neurológicos, grastrointestinales, inmunológicos, cutáneos, dentales); complicaciones en la salud sexual y reproductiva (incidencia de infecciones de transmisión sexual y problemas en el aparato reproductor femenino). Un mayor conocimiento sobre el impacto en la salud de la trata, ayuda a mejorar la detección, atención y recuperación de las víctimas o supervivientes. Por ello, se aboga por un estudio de salud integral, que no sólo se reduzca al impacto físico, sino que también englobe la dimensión social, mental y sexual de la salud.

The main repercussions have been violence (physical, sexual and psychological); mental health problems (with high levels of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder); the loss of social health (movement restrictions, lack of social support, poor security in work and life); damage to physical health (neurological, gastrointestinal, immunological, skin, dental problems); complications in sexual and reproductive health (incidence of sexually transmitted infections and problems in the female reproductive system). Greater knowledge about the health impact of human trafficking helps to improve the detection, care and recovery of victims or survivors. For this reason, a comprehensive health study is advocated, which is not only reduced to physical impact, but also encompasses the social, mental and sexual dimension of health.
