World Socialist Website

The following interview is with two workers employed in the technical support call centre of an Australian Internet service provider. AM and JR describe their situations.

Q: What is it like to work in a call centre?

LATIN AMERICAN SEX WORKERS

2000-03-01

Issue No : 33 December 1999 - February 2000

Ana Enriquez

Comfort Women: Refuting the View of Being Licensed Prostitutes

2000-03-01

Issue No : 33 December 1999 - February 2000

My family name is Wang. I am from Changsha in Hunan. I will not tell you my age.
