Abstract

Text argues the relevance of the Situated Intersectionality approach to address the experiences of street sexual harassment suffered by Afro-Latin American and Caribbean migrant women in the metropolitan area of Santiago, Chile. For this purpose, 15interviews with migrant women from Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, and Haiti, who reside in different communities of the metropolitan area were analysed. It is indicated that women's experiences are constantly stressed by violent situations, unequal, discriminatory, xenophobic, and racist treatment, where their bodies are exoticized and hypersexualized. The analysis reveals a differentiated and hierarchical treatment of migrants according to their country of origin. The conclusions point to the political character of situated intersectionality as a theoretical approach to read women's experiences, by showing how they act and resist discriminatory practices and gender violence naturalized in the public space.
