Migrant sex work
Because of their illegal and vulnerable economic status, some migrant sex workers may find themselves in situations where coercion and forced sex work may be present. Under international legal definitions of human trafficking, forced and coercive forms of sex work are considered to be instances of involuntary sex trafficking. However, many scholars caution against categorizing sex workers as either completely voluntary or completely involuntary. They often argue that sex work, like other forms of labor, can span a spectrum between the two extremes, with most circumstances falling in the middle through various labor rights violations. Nevertheless, the vulnerability of migrant sex workers can make them susceptible to exploitative or coercive labor practices that can resemble or be human trafficking.

In 2010, x:talk produced the report "Human Rights, Sex Work and The Challenge of Trafficking". It was a study of anti-trafficking policy and whether it had been used to advance the abolition of sex work. Amongst its recommendations were the decriminalisation of sex work and the signing and ratification the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
