Anti-Trafficking and the Garment Industry
Why would the US government want to pressure other countries to increase the criminalization of sex workers through anti-trafficking measures, especially when they cause such demonstrable harm? The example of US interference in Cambodia is again instructive. Cambodia plays an important role in the $380 billion garment trade with the US.19 The large profits of US-based multinational apparel corporations rely on the exploitation of cheapened Cambodian labor. Garment workers—90 percent of whom are women—work in factory conditions that have been described as analogous to slavery—ten hours a day, six days a week, in temperatures up to 99 degrees (37 Celsius), without adequate access to food, water, toilets, or rest.[20] Workers report mass fainting, workplace fires, contagious diseases, and sexual abuse from male coworkers and bosses.[21] In the year that the Cambodian government cracked down on sex workers at the behest of the US government, the minimum wage for Cambodian garment workers was only $50 USD per month.[22] Not surprisingly, for some Cambodian women (both cisgender and transgender), the sex industry provides a better alternative to economically and sexually exploitative garment factory jobs. Criminalizing sex workers is a way for the state to arrest women out of the sex industry and push them back into the garment factories, maintaining the supply of workers available for US apparel companies to profitably exploit. Criminalizing sex work also keeps overall wages for Cambodian women low, by eliminating a higher wage alternative.
Anti-trafficking NGOs are an important part of corporate control and exploitation of Cambodian women’s labor. Their “sex-trafficking prevention” and “rehabilitation” programs often include training arrested sex workers to sew so they can be employed in garment factories—workplaces that many of them have left for the sex industry. Some Cambodian anti-trafficking NGOs even run their own factories and employ arrested sex workers, directly supplying Cambodian women’s labor to apparel corporations. The corporations win—they get cheap labor—but so do the NGOs. Large apparel corporations are among the largest funders of the anti-trafficking NGO sector in Cambodia and in other countries in the Global South where they exploit the labor of racialized poor people. “The garment industry supports the arrests of, and finances the supposed rehabilitation of, women who leave the garment trade (for sex work) forcing them to return to these low-paying, high-risk jobs that more often than not include a likelihood of sexual exploitation. This happens all over the world as a matter of the course of fast fashion.”[23] This is reflected in one of the iconic slogans to come out of Southeast Asian sex workers rights organizing: “Don’t talk to me about sewing machines, talk to me about workers’ rights.”[24]
The US government dominates international governmental and nongovernmental policy related to sex work because this protects the economic interests of corporations. Criminalizing sex work and punishing sex workers helps corporations to control the cost and availability of the labor of poor racialized women. We believe that this mirrors the motivation for the criminalization of migrant sex workers within the US and Canada as well. Criminalizing migrant sex workers pushes women out of the sex industry and into cheaper and more highly controlled work on farms, factories, private homes, and processing facilities.
Is this intentional and deliberate? Sometimes it is explicit, such as when politicians say that closing massage businesses will address the shortage of caregivers in local nursing homes and care facilities. But often it’s not explicit or deliberate. It doesn’t have to be. The oppression of migrant sex workers is structural and is not about individual intentions or enforcement. State violence against migrant sex workers is designed so that it will control the labor, mobility, and sexuality of low-income racialized migrant women by cutting off sex work as an alternative way of working, moving across borders, and forming family.

The world needs migrant sex workers and migrant sex worker organizing—it just doesn’t know it yet. Most people think that the laws and narratives surrounding sex work, migration, and human trafficking don’t affect them. They may want to help migrant sex workers, but they don’t think that migrant sex worker organizing or analysis could offer anything to their lives or their liberation. We disagree. In our view, the concern about modern slavery is a moral panic pretending to be a social justice movement, and it has significantly advanced right-wing agendas that worsen social and economic inequality for all oppressed people. For over two decades, the figure of the sex-trafficked, racialized woman (the “modern slave”) has been mobilized to build support for increased carceral state control and measures such as greater police powers and budgets, increased border surveillance and restrictions (including the push for a border wall between the US and Mexico), and police raids on immigrant-run businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods. The modern slavery moral panic is an important part of how the state and the capitalist class hide the violence caused by inequality and injustice and instead blame these problems on poor, racialized migrants and sex workers. We make the case for the important role of migrant sex worker analysis and organizing as a necessary part of resisting the right.

continuing on my tag commentary about Heated Rivalry ep 5, it's like Ilya was so closed off to the whole possibility of them being together (the whole exchange with "but if we could, would you want to?" / "we can't") but the second, the SECOND he sees that it's possible, he's in. amazing. astounding.
