Imagining Freedom

The invention of the trafficking framework hasn’t helped anyone. It is an umbrella frame, and if the issues were disaggregated, much more could be done for each of them. Becoming a “victim of crime” is not actually a benefit. Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers, Bangkok1

Instead of respect for our basic human rights under the United Nations Human Rights Council we are given “protection” under the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. We are forced to live with the modern lie that border controls and anti-trafficking policies are for our protection. None of us believe that lie or want that kind of protection. Empower Foundation, Chiang Mai, Thailand2

Save us from our saviors. We’re tired of being saved. Slogan of VAMP (Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad), a sex workers’ collective in Sangli, India3
