In doing so, they make the compelling case that the only effective response to the needs of migrant sex workers must be led by migrants in the sex trade, as they fight for rights, safety, and autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGallant and Lam illustrate how this movement is taking aim at the root causes of violence and abuse: the white supremacist securitisation of borders, the criminalisation of both migration and sex work, the patriarchal devaluation of women's labour, and forced displacement due to climate disaster, war, and poverty—all fuelled by racial capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNot Your Rescue Project\u003c\/em\u003e is a thorough indictment of the anti-trafficking industry as an engine of criminalisation and state violence, and an instructive account of the emancipatory politics already being practised by migrant sex workers in their organising. Throughout, Gallant and Lam place migrant sex workers at the centre of struggles against border imperialism, carceral states, and capitalism—dispelling a range of poisonous myths and paving the way for deeper alliances across movements with the shared goal of dismantling and abolishing carceralism in all its forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000690786540,"sku":"9798888900864","price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11162373488913.jpg?v=1763297654"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/elene-lam.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
