Women in asia particularly needed to be rescued by white women from oppression. Trends: modern slavery, the concept of slavery in the context of trafficking. I had rather be a rebel than slave", in the movie suffragette starring meryl streep and emma stone. Slavery to talk about trafficking, in the context of how trafficking sometimes happen. Assumption is that slaves are not rebels and that is not true-undermines those who fled the masters. It totally disconnected from the larger conversation: globalization and imperialism is all connected. Smugglers and women who are smuggled are separated in these kind of processes.

Muslim women and eastern europe women comes from where patriarchy is reinforced: celebrity humanitarianism: celebrities establish web pages, promote them.
