This book is a critical feminist analysis of sex trafficking. In developed countries, sex trafficking has become a popular topic, where it is often treated as a unitary global phenomenon. Contrary to this opinion, the author argues that trafficking in girls and women is a product of the social construction of gender and other dimensions of power and status within a particular culture and at a particular historical moment. Providing a local, situated analysis of sex trafficking that does not regard women as universalized victims and assesses how the social construction of trafficking in a particular society affects girls and women and fosters effective interventions, this book focuses on the case of Nepal from where 5,000 to 7,000 Nepali girls and women are trafficked each year primarily to India. In a rapidly developing society just emerging from a decade-long civil conflict Nepali citizens are struggling not only with enormous political and social changes, but with developing new 'modern' identities. In this book, the author's voice as a woman, a feminist, and a social scientist immersed in a 'foreign' way of life illuminates aspects of this process and particularly spotlight the subjectivity of urban women. Moreover, it connects Nepali subjectivities with a problem of international significance, the trafficking of girls and women. The book provides a model for other locally grounded accounts of sex trafficking that could counter the universalizing rhetoric of the mass media and some anti-trafficking activists. It fills a niche in South Asian Studies and Women's Studies.
