From
a social and legal point of view, economic migration is not a crime, although
excessive emigration causes economic damage to both the issuing and receiving country.
The primary concern, however, arises more often when immigrants end up in illegal
sex business, both during their migration and their arrival in the country of
destination. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that human traffickers
have been taking the advantage of the current migration trends, and as a
result, it is not always known that migration or trafficking is what is taking
place in front of the authorities, with special regard to the quite probable child
trafficking and sexual exploitation. For some time, the phenomenon of
unaccompanied minors arriving at refugee camps from where they disappear has
been observed, assuming organized criminal groups operating in the background
that manage the lucrative business of child trafficking and their sexual
exploitation. The primary purpose of migrant sex workers is to earn as much and
as easy income as possible[1],
as they would not otherwise be able to pursue any other career without being
able to speak the language of the destination country. Another important
motivation for the migration of sex workers according to the study just mentioned
is that some religions regard prostitution and escort activity as a great crime
therefore they are driven to find better working conditions and relocate their
sex business. The study cites Bangladesh or Nepal as an example, where sex
workers come to India for better sex work conditions, where the dominant
religion is a political factor and treats prostitution as a serious
crime. So the interpretation of sin is clearly the consequence of their
migration.
