Abstract

This paper aims to identify the violence suffered by carrier women at the borders between Spain and Morocco. Since 2015, the situation of carrier women has been worsening due to a multiplicity of structural factors at the borders. As a result of these circumstances, changes were initiated in the portering circuit that led to the opening of a new border crossing in Ceuta specialized in merchandise and an extreme precariousness of the working and security conditions of the porters. Since 2016, at least 8 women porters have died in the development of their work activity. The methodology was qualitative. The production technique was ethnography and in-depth interview. The data analysis technique has been the discourse analysis.
