“…As we can see, gender is a significant factor in global sex trafficking and has attracted interdisciplinary research and analysis (see below). There is a wide range of intersecting perspectives drawn on in this paper that contribute to an understanding of sex trafficking and tourism including socio-economic perspectives (Brooks and Devasayaham, 2011; Brooks and Simpson, 2012; Goh, 2009), human rights perspectives (Cheah, 2006; United Nations, 2000; United Nations High Commissioners for Refugees (UNHCR) 2005), migration perspectives (Voronova and Radjenovic, 2016), tourism perspectives (Carolin et al , 2015) and health perspectives (Cary et al , 2016; Matos et al , 2013; Reid and Jones, 2011). This paper examines the intersection of migration, sex trafficking and sex tourism and considers ways in which the tourism industry and different countries are responding to this issue.…”

Purpose-This paper explores the dark side of the relationship between gender, mobility, migration and tourism. Specifically the paper looks at one form of human trafficking, the global sex industry and the relationship between sex trafficking and sex tourism. More particularly, the paper examines the global sex industry (Goh 2009;Sassen 2000Sassen , 2001; the impact of migration and human rights aspects (Voronova and Radjenovic 2016) of sex trafficking and sex tourism as well as the emotional dimensions of trauma, violence and vulnerability (Author B). Design -The paper is an interdisciplinary discussion paper combining socio-economic perspectives (Goh 2009; Author A), human rights perspectives (Cheah 2006), migration perspectives (Voronova and Radjenovic 2016) tourism perspectives (Carolin et al 2015) and health perspectives (Cary et al. 2016, Matos et al. 2013, Reid and Jones 2011). The contribution of these intersecting perspectives to an understanding of sex trafficking and sex tourism is explored.Findings -The paper highlights the moral and ethical responsibility of the tourist industry to counteract sex trafficking and sex tourism, an issue which tourism studies have failed to fully engage with. In presenting the human costs of trafficking from a gender perspective, the paper considers the ways in which the tourism industries, in some countries are attempting to respond.Originality/Value -In theorising the relationship between gender, migration, sex trafficking and tourism from an interdisciplinary perspective, exploring the societal and individual impact, this paper provides a framework for further empirical research or policy changes with regards to the intersection of sex trafficking and tourism.

“…Additionally, Erickson and Ritter (2001) found that the experiences and consequences of emotional labour are not gender-based, but emotion-based. Since most of the extant studies (Cottingham et al, 2015;Cottingham et al, 2018;Elliott, 2017;Søgaard & Krause-Jensen, 2020;Thurnell-Read & Parker, 2008;Torland, 2011;Ward et al, 2020) have explored the gendered nature of emotional labour in Western contexts, little is known on the same in non-Western cultural contexts (Brooks & Devasahayam, 2010;Nixon et al, 2011;Pandey et al, 2018;Syed & Ali, 2013;Yang & Guy, 2015). To bridge this gap, this study explored how male and female nurses performed and experienced emotional labour in public and private hospitals in Sri Lanka.…”

Despite emotional labour being categorised as women's work or 'pink-collar duties', whether women and men perform and experience emotional labour differently remains an ongoing debate. Most extant studies have explored this phenomenon in Western contexts, with limited research in non-Western contexts. Therefore, this paper explores how male and female nurses performed and experienced emotional labour in a non-Western context, namely Sri Lanka. Utilising 56 interviews with nurses, this qualitative study found that though nursing was perceived as women's work in Sri Lanka, there were instances where female nurses performed stereotypically 'masculine' emotional labour and vice versa. However, constant exposure to service recipients' aggression, psychologically 'taking work home', and having to combine household and caring responsibilities led female nurses to suffer greater emotional exhaustion than men.

“…Hochschild examined how women were not only asked to use their private emotions in their work but also trained to provide passengers with the same emotions they would extend to their own family members. Taking private emotions into the public sphere and commercializing them has been examined endlessly since Hochschild's seminal book The Managed Heart (Brooks & Devasahayam, ; Isenbarger & Zembylas, ; O'Reilly, ; Theodosius, ). Its relevance to my research is situated in her emotional labour thesis that accounts for how women are called upon to use their femininity and gendered care roles for commercial value.…”

Who cares? A lack of self‐care for women in the non‐profit/non‐governmental sector

In this article I examine the lack of self‐care regimes for women working in the non‐profit/non‐governmental sector. While I draw on ethnographic research conducted in the Malaysian context of women's organizations, the issue of self‐care for activists and feminist activists is a global one that crosses borders and boundaries. I explore the gendered nature of care and care professions to demonstrate how women are predominantly affected in these working environments. To date, there has been little scholarship on self‐care and care in non‐profit/non‐governmental working environments. Using interviews with women working in the sector, I argue that women's emotional, mental and physical health comes at a cost in these hectic workplaces. This article contributes to the literature on gender, work and care in women's organizations by taking seriously women's concerns working in these spaces, where they experience self‐neglect and institutional barriers in care regimes.
