Qualitative Study Using Photovoice to Understand the Needs and Aspirations of Diverse Women
Working in the Sex Industry. Thesis. Portland State University. Print. 2010.

This study provides alternative methods for Portland Oregon sex workers to express their
experiences, needs, and aspirations on their own terms through photography. The collections of
pictures that ensue from this creative study allow for the artists' visions and voices to travel to an
audience beyond that of typical academia. There are mentions of the children of sex workers
throughout the study, but this research paper is more focused on providing a platform for adult
individuals in the industry, which is also important and relevant. The thoughts of significant
Black feminist theorists are echoed, and there is discussion of the long legacy of sexualization of
Black women and its correlation to racism.

Letherby, Gayle, Kate Williams, Philip Birch, and Maureen Cain. Sex As Crime? Cullompton:
Willian Publishing, 2008. Print.

This book brings together chapters by various academics, researchers and practitioners to analyze
the evolving worldwide phenomenon of sex work, domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault
through a pro-feminist criminal justice lens. With two sections, one focusing on sex as a
commodity and the other on sex as violence, this book provides a broad examination of most
aspects of the sex industry, including chapters focusing exclusively on underage individuals and
how they can be targeted and affected by the porn industry.

United States Bureau of International Labor, Affairs, et al. Forced Labor: The prostitution of
children. Washington, DC. 1996. Print.

This dense paper is from a symposium that was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau of International Labor Affairs, the Women's Bureau, and the U.S. Department of State,
Bureau of Democracy, and Human Rights and Labor. As the title suggests, the entire information
packet is focused on child prostitution, and contains two parts; one giving an overview of child
prostitution, and the other documenting the responses to it. There are subsections within the parts
pertaining to children in the sex industry in specific locations such as Asia, Latin America, and
the United States. This symposium holds factually reliable, if not a bit dated, information that can
be connected to the focus of my research within the topic of human trafficking in Portland.

This brief online news publication gives a focused perspective on more recent developments in
the Portland human trafficking scene. There are significant quotes and information from involved
law enforcement as well as statistics from the FBI pertaining to Portlands overall ranking as a
haven for human trafficking. There is also an interview with a survivor of child prostitution,
included is an overview of how she became involved and how she escaped. The trouble with

prosecuting victims of human trafficking is also discussed. This report is directly relevant to my
topic and will be extremely useful for the purpose of my research.

Campbell, Andy. Where Strip Clubs Thrive In Portland, So Does Child Sex Trafficking. The
Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com, 25 June 2015.

This news article is very current, especially compared to the majority of my other sources, and is
also specific to Portland. It is a fairly comprehensive and informative article, giving many
statistics, facts, and even showing a couple of diagrams as well. Although it is not scholarly, the
articles reliance on statistical information and quotes from law enforcement creates a dignified
and reliable source. Portlands excessive amount of strip and other sex clubs are discussed, as
well as what is being done to combat this issue.
