  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This groundbreaking book explodes several myths: that selling sex is completely different from any other kind of work; that migrants who sell sex are passive victims; and that the multitude of people out to save them are without self-interest. Laura Agust&#237;n makes a passionate case against these stereotypes, arguing that the label &quot;trafficked&quot; does not accurately describe migrants' lives and that the &quot;rescue industry&quot; disempowers them. Based on extensive research among migrants who sell sex and social helpers, Sex at the Margins provides a radically different analysis. Frequently, says Agust&#237;n, migrants make rational choices to travel and work in the sex industry. Although they are treated like a marginalized group they form part of the dynamic global economy. Both powerful and controversial, this book is essential reading for all those who want to understand the increasingly important relationship between sex markets, migration and the desire for social justice. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Agustin makes a compelling case here for the reconsideration of migrant sex workers that is both challenging and certainly grounds for pause on the part of humanitarians. Among my own studies of late, the question of politics within human rights work comes up time and time again.

    <body><![CDATA[Agustin looks at global migrations and the sex trade and takes issue with the idea that all sex-trade linked migration is &quot;trafficking&quot; with violence and abuse. She also asks whether the &quot;rescue industry&quot; of NGOs and social agencies is itself victimising women in the sex trade.
