Academic Discourse: Feminist Debates on Sex Work and Trafficking Academic discourse with respect to human trafficking is multi-disciplinary. The phenomenon of trafficking spans such fields as sociology, human and labour rights, criminal law and criminology, international relations along with feminist theory. Numerous academics engaged on the issue therefore fall outside of the field of feminist critical engagement which is the focus of this section. For example, there are a number of academics whose work on migration and trafficking cannot be classified as feminist in orientation, nor would these academics be classified as feminist theorists.
In light of such harms involved in prostitution, they argue that it is contradictory to oppose trafficking while promoting prostitution as a justifiable form of labour (Farley, 2004: 1094–109). Arguments that frame prostitution as a form of work are deemed ‘attempts to remove all obstacles to conducting the business of prostitution’ (Farley, 2004: 1091) and a last-resort attempt to normalise women’s exploitation adopted ‘out of despair’ (Barry, 1995: 296). The Main Agendas and Those Behind Them 23 These authors argue that exploitation should be actionable whether it is against women or children and strong critiques are directed towards distinctions drawn between adult and child trafficking on the basis of capacity to consent (Balos, 2004; Raymond quoted in Miles, 2003: 26; see also Jeffreys, 2000).
Moreover, the divergence of views, quality of data collected and accuracy of depictions of human trafficking within any one category must be noted. However, these agendas are identified as having the most weight and as those most commonly amplified through repetition. The potential gains for stakeholders in the way trafficking debates, research, discourse and imagery unfold should not be underestimated. While many stakeholders have a genuine interest in countering trafficking, we have simultaneously seen human trafficking presented in a sensationalised or biased light to obtain particular gains.
