Subverting gendered vulnerability of sex trafficking through resilience in Ruchira Gupta's I Kick and I Fly

Yet scholarship on trafficking fiction remains largely confined to a victimhood paradigm, leaving the transition from vulnerability to resilience under-theorized. This article addresses the gap through Ruchira Gupta's I Kick and I Fly (2023), which depicts the intergenerational prostitution an…
