BRAINSTORMING

On december 14th, SAHT held its last 2008 meeting... We figured it was time to brainstorm...

We wrote TRAFFICKING on a board and asked all present to throw words out there... anything that made sense and had a link to trafficking.. We then identified several dichotomies that we wish to develop in the future.. either through other brainstorming meetings, literature review and sharing, or by inviting speakers at our meetings... This will be decided and communicated very soon!

Here are the results of the session:

Trafficking

Stereotypes
Empirically problematic
Illegality
Victimization
Political agendas
Exploitations
Work vs. not work
Slavery
Vulnerability
Middle (wo)men
smuggling vs. trafficking
Corruption
International crime
Social networks
Agency
Supply & Demand
Inhuman
Immigration control
Children Camel jockeys
Prostitution
Risky work
Forced Political / academic trend

Dichotomies

(1) Vulnerability / victimization vs. Agency
(2) Supply vs. Demand
(3) Slavery vs. Labour
(4) Political agendas / borer control vs. Illegality
(5) Feminization / masculinization vs. Stereotypes
(6) Visibility vs. Invisibility
