Summary:This groundbreaking book explodes several myths: that selling sex is completely different from any other kind of work; that migrants who sell sex are passive victims; and that the multitude of people out to save them are without self-interest. Laura Agustn argues that the label 'trafficked' does not accurately describe migrants' lives and that the 'rescue industry' disempowers them.
