Analysing the use of the trafficking victim archetype by Brazil and the Iberian countries

- Abstract
- The victim archetype has been a characteristic of the mainstream narratives of human trafficking since the creation of the white slavery myth despite its incongruence with most real life cases. In a similar vein, the current Brazilian trafficking victim archetype fails to reflect the reality of trafficking victims hailing from that country, yet it is still used as a label by Brazil, Spain and Portugal. The label of “(potential) trafficking victim” is used not as an instrument of human rights protection, but as both a political weapon to curtail prostitution and a socially acceptable form of migration control to the detriment of Brazilian migrant sex workers and any women who fit the targeted “profile.”
