Producing the Prosecution Witness: Trial Courts, Sex Trafficking, and NGO Intervention in India
This talk explores how global policy prescriptions intersect with local legal practices, and the role of NGOs as mediators between these two arenas. I describe the contours of U.S.-funded NGO intervention in Indian courts in sex trafficking cases, but illuminate its limits in the face of India's postcolonial law and state practices, as well as rescued sex workers’ complex subjectivities, experiences, and perceptions of justice.
