ABSTRACT This article develops a critical study of the dominant discourse on sex trafficking and transnational sex work in Europe, by relying on the critical security theory about the construction of the “other” as a different and dangerous subject. It seeks to analyze the process of securitization of migrant prostitutes, through which they are identified as "criminal victims" who challenge the public order, the traditional family structure and female sexuality, and ultimately the sovereignty of European states. The degree of dangerousness of irregular migrants involved in prostitution is defined through a construction of their risk profile, which serves as a justification to implement policies of body and movement control, by restricting immigration entrance, criminalizing or deporting them to their countries of origin.
