Rezensionen

"A groundbreaking book on the lives of immigrant sex workers in Europe. Focused on West African women who work in window-prostitution rooms in Brussels and based on carefully conducted field observations and interviews, the book offers unique findings, insights, and policy recommendations regarding the women's lives, work, and struggles in a disadvantaged, crime-ridden part of the city that does not received the police protection it deserves. A major contribution to our understanding of the lives of marginalized sex workers in Europe." -- Ronald Weitzer, George Washington University, USA



"A significant and important contribution to literature on trafficking of West African women to Europe. It provides a unique and insightful angle to the hidden perspective of trafficked women in prostitution, with narratives from the key informants, as these Nigerian and Ghanaian women share their experiences and challenges in red-light districts in Brussels." - Kokunre Agbontaen-Eghafona, Professor of Anthropology, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria.
