Zusammenfassung

Public authorities of Equatorial Guinea make official, through differ- ent levels a model of women based on Spanish fascism. On the contrary, multina- tionals, supported by globalization, break the model of the «virtuous woman» and have managed to slowly but intelligently impose a different prototype of woman: the white woman. The white woman stereotyped by the corporate world is ex- tremely thin (almost anorexic), a compulsive consumer and apparently happy. In the middle of the two «ideal models» of women, the network of human trafficking of women and girls for sexual and labour exploitation has been integrated. The article analyzes the decisive capacity that the three levels of power (public au- thorities, globalization and national human trafficking network) have established to sustain the aforementioned models of women and the resilience emerged in response to the repression of the female body and others vulnerable groups.
