      abstract = {This book explores the triangular dynamics of  securitisation and desecuritisation that underpin the EUs  approach to trafficking in women for sexual exploitation.  That is, its progressive securitisation within the EUs  anti-trafficking policies and the existence of two distinct  and competing approaches that coexist among feminist  struggles against such trend: a neo-abolitionist approach,  on the one hand, that is increasingly defended from within  EU institutions, and has thus become increasingly entangled  with the securitisation of trafficking in women; and a sex  work approach, on the other, that has been largely  relegated to the domains of academia and civil society. As  such, this book addresses the intersection of security and  feminist neo-abolitionism within the EUs anti-trafficking  policies, as well as the desecuritising potential of the  anti-trafficking advocacy of both transnational  neo-abolitionist and sex worker organisations. This book  unprecedentedly brings together three bodies of literature  that rarely interact: Critical Security Studies, EU Gender  Studies and the feminist literature on prostitution and  trafficking in women and demonstrates their fruitful  interaction in an extensive empirical analysis of the EUs  internal security, violence against women and  anti-trafficking policies.
