Through analysing feminist discourse on human trafficking, the article interrogates feminism's ability and its limitations in challenging or reinforcing some of the most controversial policy outcomes. The article argues that, due to a structural weakness within feminism itself and the profound institutionalisation of counter-trafficking, any possibility of challenging dominant discourses on trafficking remains a distant dream. Rather, counter-trafficking attempts ultimately help create a controversial neoliberal space that strains feminism's transformative potential while simultaneously strengthening bureaucratic state feminism.- Reproduced  aHuman trafficking, counter-trafficking, Feminism, State fermiums, Portugal. 939754 aSocial and Legal Studies  aFEMINISM cAR 00102ddc40709398382aIIPAbIIPAd2023-08-08h32(3), Jun, 2023: p.420-440pAR129309r2023-08-08yAR
