They arrest sex workers and force them to work in sweatshops producing that overpriced crap for the white liberal market in the west, while the “rescued”/arrested women make a pittance.

Well, there are actually better sources which talk about HOW they rescue the women (arrest) and what a “better than fair trade wage” actually is (not as much as sex work) but yeah that article is okay, it’s especially good that she covers the way anti-trafficking orgs interfere with actual public health in many ways–like blocking safer sex resources and tools.

while a google of Nick Kristof and nytimes and sweatshop will reveal him advocating for exactly that!
Nick Kristof, anti-trafficking activist par excellance!
An investigation into Somaly Mam’s work will reveal the same.

That one is worth a read anyway!! Also Kamala Kempadoo’s Sex Work and Trafficking Revisited.Also, this article by two feminist Punjab scholars addresses the total white asshole ignorance and appropriation behind the name, altho not the “sex slave” claims:
The rescue industry is RAMPANT in Asia. Sex workers in Asia are constantly harmed by this awful industry which apparently wants to “save” them. Disgusting white saviour complex.
