When the persons are no longer profitable, their deportation can also be quickly arranged. The victims of trafficking become victims of organized international criminals, trafficking intermediaries, national police, and immigration police. Professor Lee Jung Ok also spoke of the inter-relationship between global and micro economies, trafficking, and morality. In order to fully understand the motivation and driving forces behind the continuation of trafficking in persons, it is important to assess both the positive and negative effects of trafficking. For example, women have long been victimized by inadequate wages and sexual servitude.
Prostitution offers both money and labor opportunities for some women.
Further, the right to choose such a living may also be interpreted as a path to sexual freedom. For example, Professor Ok quoted a study which showed that sex workers in the Philippines experiences a heightened sense of empowerment, were able to send more money to their families, and started new lives. Professor Ok also explored the relationship between the development of international law in trafficking and the economic realities of trafficked persons. The issue of consent as part of the definition of trafficking should be more fully explored. Currently, consent does not include the exploitation of the economic hardship which is the reality of millions of women around the world.
