“…14 The proportion of female to male victims is unknown, because reliable estimates of the prevalence of human trafficking are unavailable. Much more attention has been paid to female victims, and this may be related to a number of factors, including higher proportions of females being identified as victims in large-scale studies, 3,14 evidence to suggest that female victims are more likely than males to be controlled by pimps, 5 public discomfort with the idea of males having sex with men, public misperception that males cannot be objectified or coerced, 24 and a general lack of screening boys for possible CSEC activity. 18 It is likely that the number of male victims is grossly underestimated, because males may be less likely to be seen as victims by themselves 5 or others.…”

Child sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) are major public health problems in the United States and throughout the world. Despite large numbers of American and foreign youth affected and a plethora of serious physical and mental health problems associated with CSEC, there is limited information available to pediatricians regarding the nature and scope of human trafficking and how pediatricians and other health care providers may help protect children. Knowledge of risk factors, recruitment practices, possible indicators of CSEC, and common medical and behavioral health problems experienced by victims will help pediatricians recognize potential victims and respond appropriately. As health care providers, educators, and leaders in child advocacy, pediatricians play an essential role in addressing the public health issues faced by child victims of CSEC. Their roles can include working to increase recognition of CSEC, providing direct care and anticipatory guidance related to CSEC, engaging in collaborative efforts with medical and nonmedical colleagues to provide for the complex needs of youth, and educating child-serving professionals and the public.

“…Historically the political and policy emphasis on the regulation of female sexuality meant that the boundaries and particular working practices of male sex workers (henceforth MSWs) remained relatively hidden and under-scrutinised (Dennis, 2008;Minichiello & Scott, 2014;Weitzer, 2009;Whowell, 2010). Early research into male prostitution emphasised its psychopathological nature.…”

This paper is based on a qualitative study of male street-based prostitution. It suggests that the street-based sector is more varied, with sellers adopting a wider range of working practices, than is commonly acknowledged in the literature on male prostitution. Drawing on data from Manchester, England I identify a number of 'life patterns' among male street sellers that reflect varied working practices based on issues around rational decision-making and the sex worker's relationship to place and environment. The discussion has implications for urban policies around street-based sex work but also for a more general understanding of male sex work in international and comparative perspective.

“…By emphasizing "especially Women and Children" in the title of the law, exploitation was defined in a way that highlighted women and children as the victims, with no mention of adult males (Kimm & Sauer, 2010). The influence of the NGO was so profound that the shifting frame of the trafficking victim is reflected in scholarly discussions of sex workers (forced or voluntary) that nearly always specify "she," "her," or "the women," (Dennis, 2008).…”

Fighting for success : the use of resources by NGOs in the anti-human trafficking social movement.

This thesis is an archival document analysis that will illustrate the importance of effective use of resources on the overall success of an anti-human trafficking organization. While there are multiple studies on resource mobilization and movements in general, little work has emerged regarding successful mobilization strategies in the anti-human trafficking movement. With my research, I pay particular attention to two groups and consider how their interactions with various resources influence their success.Comparing a more successful organization to a less successful organization provides the best assessment of a social movement and the process by which it meets its objectives. Results demonstrate that successful organizations are able to take advantage of available resources and that no matter how compelling the cause may be, without proper mobilization of resources the social movement organizations cannot attain success.iv
