I fucking hate when western feminists talk about “sex trade” in “the third world” when they 1) have never fucking been to that country & 2) assume all women over there are victims and need you to save them. sex work exists everywhere, sex workers rights are a topic everywhere, and yes even sex workers organizations exists everywhere. that includes places like vietnam, haiti, china, brazil, and mexico where y’all are putting people in danger by pushing for more criminalization.

Uh. Sex trafficking isn’t the same as sex work. So, you know, criminalization of sex trafficking actually is important.

oh my god

stop oppressing slaves with your western notions of freedom! (?)

shut the fuck up honestly 

you are fucking vile and disgusting. do you know that? do you know much of a subhuman you are for labeling women you’ve never met actual slaves for trying to survive while completely ignoring that actual history of slavery in their countries?? My post was specifically about how western radical feminists deny the agency of “third world” sex workers by exploiting their pain & erasing the existence of their own civil rights organizations. and here you are doing the same damn thing.

yeah your western notions of freedom & liberation have brought in NGOs that rape women in exchange for food in places like haiti. most of the people from these NGOs eventually become clients to these women anyway. if you care about slaves so much then where the fuck are you when haitian women get trafficking in slavery in the DR? where the fuck are you when southeast asian sex workers are forced into sweat shops? Or do you only label work as slavery when it’s women trying to feed their families?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the fact that they ignore women being enslaved when it’s not for sexual labor is because they think sexual labor is gross, not because they care about the use of slave labor.

^^^^^^

like sorry to burst your fucking bubble feminists but in places in the carribbean, like haiti where my family is from, sex work exists and has existed for a long time. organizations like KOURAJ, ANAPFEH, FOSREF, and other community groups help sex workers with additional job placement, sex education, HIV testing, and community organizing. 

and when there is actual slavery happening, nothing gets done because

1) if the perpetrators are from foreign NGOs & contracting companies they will never be arrested

2) there is a lot of corruption w/ the police who simply arrested suspected sex workers and trafficking victims because prostitution is illegal

3) the majority of trafficking/slavery takes place in the form of domestic labor

4) there is an enormous amount of domestic slavery in DR, but it is completely ignored if it happens to haitians because they treat us like roaches over there

sex workers rights is an issue all across the globe, stop trying to erase the realities of so many people to fit your agenda. these issues are layered and complicated, and their solutions are best found by people who actually know what is going on in their community

Me?  I was agreeing with you, I was talking about swerfs

I think your post and all your commentary and this commentary is badass and really important, and is pretty much what I’ve always thought anyway (that women from these countries know what they need better than anyone else)
