ABSTRACT
During the fi rst decade of the twenty-fi rst century Spain attracted signifi cant numbers of Brazilian immigrant women. At the same time, sex traffi cking along routes leading to Spain became a matter of serious concern fed by international police actions and anti-traffi cking media campaigns undertaken by the Brazilian government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) (Blanchette 2008 ; Grupo 2005 ; Piscitelli 2008 ). Taking this public anxiety as reference point, the present chapter examines the migratory processes and work experiences of Brazilian female sex workers active in Spanish cities.
