ABSTRACT This article analyses the relationships between the colonial government in the Federated Malay States (FMS), international social movement organisations, the League of Nations and sex trafficking. While there is considerable scholarship on social movement organisations and the League of Nations, far less is known about the links between internationalism, colonialism and sex trafficking. After the First World War, trafficking became the focus of social movement organisations and the League of Nations, but colonial regulation of prostitution and tolerated brothels complicated international responses to trafficking. Colonial administrators saw prostitution as an essential service, whereas feminist and international social movement organisations saw prostitution as an impetus for trafficking. This article engages with newspaper reports, colonial correspondence and Chinese petitions, archival material from social movement organisations, and reports by the Association of Moral and Social Hygiene, the League of Nations and the Chinese Secretariat to extend the literature on the historiography of trafficking and the British Empire.

1920-1940 年向马来联邦州的性交易：从卖淫移民到受害者或罪犯？

摘要 本文分析了马来联邦（FMS）殖民政府、国际社会运动组织、国际联盟和性交易之间的关系。虽然有大量关于社会运动组织和国际联盟的学术研究，但对国际主义、殖民主义和性交易之间的联系却知之甚少。第一次世界大战后，贩卖人口成为社会运动组织和国际联盟的重点，但对卖淫的殖民监管和容忍妓院使国际上对贩卖人口的反应复杂化。殖民地行政人员将卖淫视为一项基本服务，而女权主义和国际社会运动组织则将卖淫视为贩卖人口的动力。这篇文章与报纸报道有关，
