Question

"Selling Sex for Visas: Sex Tourism as a Stepping-stone to International Migration," Denise Brennan
Addressing the myth that sex workers around the globe are simply victims of exploitation and domination, Denise Brennan considers the case of women sex workers in Sosua, Dominican Republic. These women - predominantly poor, single mothers with limited educations - see sex work not as a survival strategy, but as an advancement strategy. They have meager job opportunities and can make more money more quickly selling sex than in any other job available to them. Ultimately many hope to obtain marriage proposals from wealthy sex tourists, and with them visas to places with greater economic opportunities. Brennan sites these strategies as examples of the "savviness and resourcefulness of the so-called powerless."
How are the working conditions of women sex workers in Sosua controlled?
a. largely by the women themselves
b. by pimps
c. by drug lords
d. by patriarchs in their own families
