Japanese Sex Workers
The Prostitution Prevention Law in Japan prohibits direct sexual intercourse for money, so other forms of sexual services have developed. Also, in Japan the border is blurring between professional women and amateurs. Housewives and students can easily get involved in the sex industry as a form of part-time job. It is true that a lot of men in Japan like a sex worker with a "non-professional" image. Many customers need mental liberation just as mu…
Forced to Choose
This chapter examines the rise to prominence of the "voluntary" versus "forced" model of sex worker experience, and the implications and consequences of this rise for sex workers&s; rights. Early attempts to deal with prostitution internationally were heavily influenced by nineteenth-century feminist activism. It was women like Josephine Butler who first brought the issue of the "white slave trade" to international attention, via a campaign to pr…

Q: What has motivated you to stay working on prostitution for close to twenty years?
Women, Labor, and Migration
"Traffic in women" is a broad category covering various forms of exploitation and violence within a range of labor sectors that migrant women work in, including prostitution, entertainment industries and domestic work. Looking at trafficking from the perspective of the majority of the women people are concerned with, it is clear that most women come to Western Europe because they are looking for a better way to make a living. The growing gap betw…
It’s Good to Know
Women in the clubs think they have passed the street stage, feel as if they are elevated. Once a person goes to a club, he/she have a kind of bias—one thinks he/she is better than the women on the street. There are forty-five clubs registered with the Dermatological Clinic, and that&s;s not the full amount in Suriname. There are about twenty or thirty something that are not licensed. The women were not really helping each other on the street. Eve…

Sex Slaves and Discourse Masters
Why is the international community so concerned with the fate of prostitutes abroad? And why does the story of trafficking sound so familiar? In this pioneering new book, Jo Doezema argues that the current concern with trafficking in women is a modern manifestation of the myth of white slavery. Combining historical analysis with contemporary investigation, this book sheds light on the current preoccupations with trafficking in women. It examines …
Now You See Her, Now You Don’t
In December 2000, over 80 countries signed the ‘Protocol to Suppress, Prevent and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children’ (The Trafficking Protocol) in Palermo, Italy. The UN Trafficking Protocol was the target of heavy feminist lobbying during the two years in which the negotiations took place. The lobby efforts were split into two ‘camps’, deeply divided in their attitudes towards prostitution. One lobby group framed prost…
Who gets to choose? Coercion, consent, and the UN Trafficking Protocol
This article explores the difficulties around using the notion of consent to define 'trafficking in women'. It does this through an examination of the recent negotiations around the UN Trafficking Protocol. 'Consent' was a highly contentious topic at the negotiations. One feminist lobby group argued that all prostitution, regardless of consent, should be considered trafficking. Another feminist lobby group insisted that coercion was a necessary e…

Trafficking in women' has, in recent years, been the subject of intense feminist debate. This article analyses the position of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) and the writings of its founder, Kathleen Barry. It suggests that CATW's construction of 'third world prostitutes' is part of a wider western feminist impulse to construct a damaged 'other' as justification for its own interventionist impulses. The central argument of this…
