Third Wave Elements
    strategies
       emphasis on NGOs (national, regional, local)
       targets both national governments AND transnational orgs
          e.g. UN
       building transnational feminist networks

Agenda
    Prostitution
       as part of larger social, economic, political context
       rejection of claim that prostitution is "inevitable"
            as a reification of male point of view
            serves to objectify women and commodify sex

        rather, sexual relations should be viewed as a means of
            intimate social relation between human beings
  
   Recommendations
          decriminalize
          prosecute - "procurers," i.e., pimps and traffickers
             and consumers

          trafficking, in particular, has become a "hot" topic
          over the course of the 1990s

       Why?
