TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Sex Trafficking as the ‘New Slave Trade’? JO - Sexualities A1 - Schaeffer-Grabiel, F. SP - 153 EP - 160 VL - 13 IS - 2 N2 - This article analyzes the United Nation’s media branding of sex trafficking as the ‘New Slave Trade’. The association of forced sex with migrant women as slavery galvanizes a broad contingency against trafficking and broadens the power of the state to intervene in sexual activity under the jurisdiction of national security. Under the guise of national security, the media campaigns’ focus on slavery moralizes stronger border protection and the surveillance of migrants in order to prevent criminal networks and regimes of slavery from penetrating the pure boundaries of the USA nation-state.
