The trafficking of humans for purposes of sexual slavery has reached epidemic proportions. The International Organization for Migration recently estimated that 200-225,000 women and children from Southeast Asia are trafficked to other countries annually, making this region the largest source of trafficked women in the world, and in 2003 prostitution and sex trafficking comprised three percent of Thailand's economy. While NGOs (Non Government Organizations) are actively working to combat human trafficking in this region, little research has been conducted addressing how NGO communications processes contribute to their organizational impact. Based on fieldwork in Thailand and Cambodia, Erin Kamler's talk addresses the rhetoric used by NGOs working to combat human trafficking, and asks us to assess how this rhetoric situates these institutions in the global public sphere.
