‘Where there is money, there will be sex.’
Anthropologist Sine Plambech has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of sex and money across continents.
In Global Sex, she draws back the curtain on a hidden world, sharing intimate conversations with sex workers from Nigeria and Thailand living in Europe. And when she retraces the treacherous routes that led them from their families, she finds lives transformed by the money that absent mothers, daughters, wives and sisters send home.
Plambech is unsparing in her analysis of the international sex trade, yet compassionate in her treatment of the women who work in it. It is these women who take centre stage, reminding us that behind every statistic, there is a human story.
Sine Plambech is an anthropologist and award-winning author. She is Senior Researcher PhD at the Danish Institute for International Studies in Copenhagen. Her main areas of research are in the fields of global migration, Mediterranean border politics, gender, inequality, trafficking and the sex industry. She has held Guest professorships at Yale University, Columbia University, Barnard College and London School of Economics.
