Filipino Women's Migration to Japan's Sex Industry: A Case of Transnational Gender Subjection

By pointing out the complex picture of international sex traffic, this study raises questions not only about the contemporary discourse of international sex traffic, but also about the analytical framework of sex work. It recommends further investigation should be done on international sex traffic from a historically specific context, with women's voices included. Such research will not only develop a better understanding of international sex traffic, but also a more effective strategy to address the inequality of power at the intersection of class, race, nation, as well as gender.
