Arguing 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, this book fills a niche in South Asian Studies and Women’s Studies. Focusing on the case of Nepal it provides a local, situated analysis of sex trafficking and a model to counter the universalizing rhetoric of the mass media.
