Balance and context

@Wilfredor: Ambitious article indeed. But the style and size of the article seem to contain its own weaknesses:

Bordering on political essay/book, when portraying the reality in a manner that emphasizes a certain type of risks or outcomes
Using ledes in the sections (often without clear referencing) that portrays reality in a certain yet consequential manner
Building an article of a scope that may be less suited to the encyclopedic milieu than in an activist publication/book
I note the use of Melissa Farley in a lot of instances. Not mentioning her double identities (as researcher and activist) would be missing a chance to put things in perspective (see the last link for possible controversiality)
The very large article doesn't mention two books I happen to own: Brokered Subjects by Elizabeth Bernstein and Sex Trafficking and Human Rights (by Smith-Cannoy et al), two books on a related but not identical topic that still may inform the article on important perspectives.
I will have more to add, once I get a better look at the content and references used. See ya.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review the content. I'm taking your feedback seriously and working to improve those areas. My plan is to start by reviewing the original version in Portuguese, and then proceed with the necessary corrections in English, Spanish, and other languages. I believe some of the sources used could be strengthened; although I wouldn't call them misleading, as the link you provided leads to a WordPress blog where anyone can post, I acknowledge that certain paragraphs could benefit from incorporating additional viewpoints without unnecessarily lengthening the article. I greatly appreciate your input and am committed to enhancing the content. Wilfredor (talk) 23:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
