The strong demand for women's domestic, caring, and sexual labor in contemporary Europe promotes migrations from many parts of the world. This article examines the history of concepts that marginalize these as unproductive services (and not really “work”) and questions why the west accepts the semifeudal conditions and lack of regulations pertaining to this sector. I argue that the moral panic over trafficking and the limited feminist debate on “prostitution” contribute to a climate that ignores the social problems of the majority of women migrants.
