Human Rights and Gender Politics
First Published in 2004. As the new millennium leaves behind the most violent of centuries, human rights activists and international agencies are looking to a new Age of Rights. Feminists have been prominent among those struggling 'from below' to reconstruct human rights: the slogan 'women's rights are human rights' has become a central claim of the global women's movement; feminist theorists have argued for an explicit inclusion of women and gender in human rights tenets; and United Nations forums have become central sites of an energetic new global feminist 'public', providing unprecedented avenues for feminist initiatives and action. It is clear, however, that feminist re-shapings of human rights have been engaged in complex conversations with both human rights claims and with feminist and gender politics in all their many local versions. The contributors to this volume address these complex conversations through a number of case studies within the Asia-Pacific region.
Queer Sex Work
Sex work is a subject of significant contestation across academic disciplines, as well as within legal, medical, moral, feminist, political and socio-cultural discourses. A large body of research exists, but much of this focuses on the sale of sex by women to men and ignores other performances, practices, meanings and embodiments in the contemporary sex industry. A queer agenda is important in order to challenge hetero-centric gender norms and to develop new insights into how gender, sex, power, crime, work, migration, space/place, health and intimacy are understood in the context of commercial sexual encounters. Queer Sex Work explores what it might mean to ‘be’, ‘do’ and ‘thinkâ€...

Feminism, Prostitution and the State
This edited volume focuses on charting the rise of neo-abolitionism and offering a critique of the idea, its logics and consequences. A model of state policy which aims to abolish prostitution through legislation, Neo-abolitionism criminalises the buyer of sex but not the seller. It is currently law in Sweden and other Nordic states and dominates the framing of policy debates in many other Western liberal contexts. Pressure for adoption of this policy has come from radical feminists who understand prostitution and sex trafficking as a form of violence against women. This volume argues that this convergence between radical feminism and state’s interests arises from the emergence of, on the ...

Trafficking Women in Korea
Based on in-depth ethnographic work, this book presents a study of Filipinas trafficked to South Korea, focusing on women who entered South Korea as migrant entertainers and subsequently became deployed in exploitative work environments around US military bases there. It contributes to the extension of our knowledge about human trafficking in the Asian region through an exploration of the experiences of more than 100 women who took part in the study. The book challenges many of the accepted understandings about "trafficking victims" and unravels the implications of these narrow understandings for the women themselves. It explores the ways women negotiate trafficking largely outside of the emerging formal anti-trafficking framework, and explains how new community formations and social networks emerge crafted by the women themselves to manage and overcome their vulnerabilities in migration.
