“…Globally, a growing body of literature has examined women’s entry into sex work due to trafficking [ 26 , 31 , 46 ] and their experience of sociocultural factors that shaped their entry into sex work [ 24 , 28 , 30 , 41 , 47 ]. However, these studies do not explain how madams and house owners developed a strong trafficking network to trick girls and women into sex work and how family members forcefully induct women into sex work for economic gains.…”

In Bangladesh, traffickers have trapped socially and economically marginalised girls and women and sold them into sex work. Furthermore, multiple sociocultural factors shape women’s forced and voluntary movement into sex work. However, there are limited peer-reviewed studies of how sex work operators and sociocultural and economic factors shape women’s forced and voluntary engagement in sex work in Bangladesh and worldwide. This study examines how sex work operators and various factors shape Bangladeshi women’s forced and voluntary involvement in sex work. This study used a qualitative approach by employing in-depth interviews with 10 female sex workers (FSWs) and 8 other stakeholders who work in a Bangladeshi brothel context. This study also used field notes to document how sex work operators and various factors shape women’s engagement in sex work. The interview transcripts and field notes were coded and analysed thematically. Participants’ accounts reveal two key themes about how sex work operators and sociocultural factors shape women’s engagement in sex work. Findings suggest that sex work operators (e.g., traffickers, pimps, madams, house owners) forced girls and women into sex work by putting them in situations in which they had limited power. Furthermore, various economic (poverty, limited employment opportunities) and sociocultural (rape, harassment, exploitation, divorce, limited support from family members and friends, feeling of disempowerment, desire to be autonomous) factors shaped their voluntary engagement in sex work by creating a condition of victimhood in which women felt limited agency and obligated to work for madams as bonded sex workers. However, some women supported by an FSW-led organisation had more agency than others to work and earn in the brothel area. We suggest three important strategies that are likely to benefit brothel-based women and their families, children, and the wider community.

“…Para ellos el trabajo sexual no era diferente de otros empleos, por lo que se esforzaban en convencer a las mujeres de que el intercambio de capital erótico por capital económico constituía la forma más expedita de ser conducidas al norte. Si ellas aceptaban trabajar en el comercio sexual, su tarifa sería pagada por los patrones estadounidenses, que más adelante descontarían de sus salarios el pago realizado (Andrade, 2021).…”

From October 2018 Central American migrants began to move in caravans to defend themselves from the authorities and organized crime, and to free themselves from the clandestine migration industry. The objective of this article is to analyze the forms of capital used by migrants of the caravans to pay migrant smugglers' fees who take them to the United States. This research is based in qualitative interviews with eighteen migrant smugglers conducted between 2019 y 2020. The following results were obtained: 1. Migrants of the caravans lack the economic resources to pay smugglers' fees; 2. Smugglers use migrants' social capital as a form of payment, and 3. Young and slender women are urged to use their erotic capital as a form of payment. It is concluded that most migrants lack economic resources; but they have other forms of capital that can transform into economic capital, mainly social capital, and erotic capital.

“…Smugglers' income comes from two sources: migrants' fees and US employers' economic contributions. The employers who pay the highest amounts to smugglers' networks are involved in the sex industry (Andrade Rubio, 2021: 79). Therefore, coyotes working for the latter receive the highest payments.…”

The objective of this article is to analyse why, in a context of a shrinking market for human smuggling, smuggling of women for sex work in the North American region has expanded. Based on interviews with 52 Mexican smugglers who have transported women for the sex trade in the United States, this article concludes that the growth in the smuggling of women for sex work responds principally to an economic logic. In addition, caravans of Central American migrants have fuelled this industry.
