(A later version of this paper appears in Feminist Review, No. 67, Spring 2001 pp. 16-38) Introduction The subject of 'trafficking in women' has, since the mid 1980s, received increased international attention.

Who gets to choose? Coercion, consent and the UN Trafficking Protocol. By Jo Doezema. Archives. Human trafficking is now associated, and sometimes used interchangeably, with slavery and forced labour.
As this issue highlights, this shift in how we use these terms has real consequences in terms of legal and policy responses to exploitation. Authors - both academics and practitioners - review how the global community is addressing forced labour and trafficking. In 2014 governments across the globe committed to combat forced labour through a new international agreement, the ILO Forced Labour Protocol. Assessing recent efforts and discourse, the thematic issue looks at unionsstruggling to champion the protection of migrants' labour rights, and at governments fighting legal battles with corporations over enactment of supply chain disclosure laws. At the same time, authors show how regressive policies, such as the Kafala system of 'tied' visas for lower paid workers, are eroding these rights.

Victor Hugo first made this connection in a letter to anti-regulationist Josephine Butler, in which he characterized prostitutes as sexual slaves For some reformers, white slavery meant that all forms of prostitution, voluntary or coerced, was a form of sexual slavery, while others saw white slavery and prostitution as distinct but related issues (4). 1. 2. Purity, Victimhood and Agency: Fifteen years of the UN Trafficking Protocol. DOI: 10.14197/atr.20121544 Marjan Wijers Abstract When the women’s movement reverted back to the nineteenth-century Victorian concept of ‘trafficking in women’ to address abuses of migrant women in the sex industry, it unwittingly adopted not only a highly morally biased concept—dividing women into innocent victims in need of rescue and guilty ones who can be abused with impunity—but also one with racist and nationalistic overtones.
