Challenging the Human Trafficking Narrative: Victims, Villains, and Heroes O'Brien Erin
What is the moral of the human trafficking story, and how can the narrative be shaped and evolved? Yet these stories also misrepresent the problem, establishing a dominant narrative that stifles other stories and fails to capture the complexity of human trafficking.This book deconstructs the human trafficking narrative in public discourse, examining the victims, villains, and heroes of trafficking stories. Stories of human trafficking are prolific in the public domain, proving immensely powerful in guiding our understandings of trafficking, and offering something tangible on which to base policy and action.
Erin O'Brien argues Sex slaves, exploited workers, mobsters, pimps and johns, consumers, governments, and anti-trafficking activists are all characters in the story, serving to illustrate who is to blame for the problem of trafficking, and how that problem might be solved.
