Whether the subject is migration, surrogate motherhood, international
matchmaking, tourism and expatriatism or plain old commercial sex, women
are consistently assigned the passive role. They cannot make their own
decisions, men pursue them relentlessly for evil ends and their sexual
bodies are innately vulnerable. A Rescue Industry from the enlightened
middle class is required to save women from themselves everywhere. How did
we get here after 50 years of women¹s liberation, affirmative action
programmes and both state and UN policies to instate Gender Equality?
