Corpi in vendita. Migrazione e prostituzione

There is a clear, though hidden, link between migration and sex work. Migrant women are often trapped in a vast range of transactional sex (of which sex work is only a part), due to global gender asymmetries and EU admission policies. Yet, migrant sex work also involves young men, unaccompanied minors, and queer people, in a complex apparatus formed by transformations of globalized capitalistic economy, our (post)colonial cultural heritage, and male clients’ gender identity. This reality asks for a theoretical analysis as well as a political-educational engagement in building our future multicultural society.
