- W56804768 abstract "In this article I begin with an overview of migration theory as it relates to those selling sex, including two key concepts: the feminisation of migration and labour migration. I then explore the interest that has arisen regarding the ways people leave their countries and arrive in others, in general, and then the particular concern for those who sell sex after arrival in Europe. I describe the ideas involved in the ‘trafficking’ discourse, the conflicts associated with efforts to define the crimes involved, the role played by the ‘violence against women’ discourse and the subtleties encountered in migrants’ own testimonies that destabilise the rigid debate that dominates this issue. Although this subject would appear to be a major source of concern in the UK, little empirical research has been published. There is no reason to believe, however, that the situation will develop very differently from what is well established all over Europe, in diverse national and cultural contexts, and since the nature of migrant sex work in Europe is itinerant and transnational, the best way to conceive of the subject is in any case as ‘European’. What and Who is a Migrant in Europe The first category in need of discussion is that of the ‘migrant’. The UK has a longer history of immigration from former colonies into the mother country and a more apparently multicultural society than many other European countries, but the use of the term migrant is more recent here. Confusion arises from different usages of the word migrant in different national contexts. Although statistics show that in many areas of Europe other European migrants are still among the most numerous groups within the migrant whole, the word ‘migrant’ tends to be used to signify non-European. Similarly, migrants who have now been ‘assimilated’ and made citizens of a particular European state are sometimes included and sometimes not in popular definitions and census exercises. Official government accountings, which vary across the European Union, do not publish statistics on immigrants per se but on different states related to immigration, such as visa status, residence status, municipal registration or permission to work, in a variety of bureaucratic categories. Many people refer to the dichotomy legal-illegal, but the possibilities are far more complex, taking in workers with definite assignments, transit migrants, suitcase traders, the self-employed, ‘forced’ migrants, those who are to some extent hiding and those who have escaped being recorded at all. In some countries, migrants move in and out of legal status repeatedly (Singleton and Barbesino 1999: 20). Theories of migration have tended to concentrate on questions of causation— why people move to new countries. Some theorists focus on international structural conditions such as recomposition of capital (for example, in ‘export" @default.
