Marie-Louise is trained in Cultural Anthropology and lecturer in gender and sexuality studies at the Department of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. After founding and directing an NGO entitled Foundation Esperanza, aimed at supporting sex workers from Latin-America who were victims of human trafficking in the Dutch sex industry, Janssen returned to the University of Amsterdam to write her dissertation on basis of oral history interviews with Latin American sex workers. In 2007 she completed her PhD with the title ‘Sex workers on the Move. Latin American women in the European Sex Industry’. Since then, she has published extensively on sex work, migration, and human trafficking, and is specialized in ethnographic research among different groups, such as Latin American sex workers and Chinese masseuses in the Netherlands. Her current research includes historical anthropological research on sex work in the former Dutch colony of Curaçao in the Caribbean region on basis of oral history interviews with marine soldiers and colonial archives.
