Despite the consensual disapproval of sex trafficking, feminist groups differ in their understanding of prostitution; some see it as an unambiguous form of exploitation and violence while others see it as a legitimate individual decision.…”

“…Although sex trafficking is condemned widely, feminists differ on the kind of link between trafficking for sexual exploitation and "sex work" and prostitution, with the question of whether the sex industry and prostitution should be accepted as legitimate and voluntary (Doezema, 2000;Agustín, 2005;Duarte, 2012;Barnett, 2016).…”
