Caught in Traffick

oh why oh why won't my links work?

jo bindman wrote an article called "redefining sex work as slavery on the international agenda" which should be available either by googling her name or the title of the article, (sorry, I just could not get any links to work so google it'll have to be)

this also somehow links to walnet and was written in collaboration with Anti-Slavery International and the Network of Sex Work Projects, both of these organizations have websites that I think are worth a look)

oh, I first heard of Jo Bindman when I was reading Global Sex Workers: Rights Resistance and Redefinition which is a compilation edited by Kamala Kempadoo and Jo Doezema. An interesting point is that Kamala Kempadoo, though she was teaching in Colorado when she wrote this, is now a Women's Studies professor at York University, right here in Toronto.

on the issue of trafficking, I had usually thought of it as something that happens across borders but I have just learned that it can happen within borders, too

try googling

department of justice canada human trafficking

and

rcmp frequently asked questions on human trafficking

try this

http://www.icclr.law.ubc.ca/Publications/Reports/human_trafficking_2005.pdf

or google the International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy, once there, the sidebar has a what's new section, click on it, then scroll to where it says 7/28/2005- Human Trafficking, A Reference Guide for Canadian Law Enforcement, click on it then scroll to the bottom where again it says Human Trafficking, A Reference Guide for Canadian Law Enforcement, click on this and you will be in a 72-pg report. Pgs 8-10 has some intro and definitions and pgs 64-68 has a questionnaire which seems to outline the issues well as most people probably don't have time to read the whole thing.
