Description:
|
This study describes a complex situation and, therefore, it deliberately attempts to avoid providing a simplistic description of a reality in which the multiple identities of the trafficked women (in relation to their gender, race and class) are interconnected within a migratory, post-colonial and globalized context. Trafficked women are those seeking to improve their own quality of life or that of their families by migrating. In fact, they have deposited all of their hopes for a better future in their migration. However, their efforts are frustrated when they fall prey to trafficking. The following pages analyze the trafficking cycle, from the recruitment to the transportation, delivery and subsequent exploitation of women. Nonetheless, the significance of this book resides in its methodology (apart from the valuable information and analysis it contains). It is very rare to find studies that go out of their way to ensure that the interviewees feel they can share their experiences without being judged for their decisions. |
