The moral panic on `trafficking', a prolonged debate within feminism on commercial sex and some activists' attempts to conflate the concept of `prostitution' with `trafficking' combine to shift study of these migrants to domains of criminology and feminism, with the result that large numbers of women's migrations are little known. This article reveals the silences at work and where the attention goes, and theorises that the shift from conventional study to moral outrage facilitates the avoidance of uncomfortable truths for Western societies: their enormous demand for sexual services and the fact that many women do not mind or prefer this occupation to others available to them.
