Document Summary
Sex trafficking: recruitment + transportation of a person by means of threat or other forms of coercion, takes agency away from women = this paradigm. Sexual salves + prostituted women (something that has done to the women) + survivors (gone through horrifying experiences ) = take away agency + variations. Sexual commerce = work: not women are empowered through sexual work, but see the potential, nothing inherent in sex work from preventing from mutual gain from both parties, just another form of economic transactions. Women who stayed at home to cook + clean = provide sexual services in the market. Liberating for women who ran away from small towns + patriarchal fmailies (gain $ + move up hierarchies) Tend to neglect sex workers with negative experiences. Advocate se work = draw attention that it is similar to any type of work. Both the oppression + empowerment paradigms are reductionist.
