Thank you Rachel Lloyd Not only is the anti-trafficking movement - TopicsExpress



          

Thank you Rachel Lloyd Not only is the anti-trafficking movement eerily quiet when it comes to issues of race, but it’s also often covertly and sometimes overtly perpetuating racial stereotypes and institutional racism. The most overt form of this is the demonization of men of color, the portrayal of this issue as ‘white slavery’, the overwhelmingly depiction of little white girls in awareness campaign materials and an adherence to an idea of what a ‘real’ victim looks like; white, preferably blond, younger than 12, with a teddy-bear or some other symbol to suggest innocence and virginity.
