Experts warn against calling #sex #trafficking “slavery.” According to Gelya Bessmertnaya, coordinator of the Eurydice feminist initiative, the term breeds the widespread stereotype that #exploitation occurs only when a person is kept somewhere by force:
“According to statistics, in most cases #women are exploited during recruitment and not through abduction. The same thing happens with #refugees – they’re cheaper and easier to recruit than to kidnap. How they’re later harbored is another question. But the main factor of coercion is psychological.”
