誰的人權: 防制人口販運運動的人權家國階序

本文選擇從防 制人口販運(human trafficking prevention)運動這項由政府與民間婦女 宗教團體所主導的人權政策,透過其建構的脈絡與論述分析,指出人權 普世意義下,其實涵蓋了不同社會與政治位置之間的角力。同時,本文 特別針對防制人口販運運動中關鍵的「丟包事件」建構進行分析,說明 其角力不僅僅只是不同人權價值認知,更是反映了社會的性道德階序 (hierarchy)、國家主權的焦慮與不同社會階層的政治權力差異,而人 權保障反而是保障了主流性道德價值與再製臺灣政府在國際上「人權立 國」的想像,並且排斥了移民、移工、性工作者的人權。藉此,本文透 過突顯人權在具體政治與社會權力差異脈絡下的動態建構過程、以及建 構過程所反映的社會階序與政治權力關係,以點出權利(rights)即權 力(power),人權保障不僅僅只是訴諸普世但抽象的原則,更必須坐 落於實踐的脈絡,分析並拆解當中的權力結構。
