Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking Challenges and Opportunities for the 21st Century comprehensively outlines the international and regional legal regimes as they currently stand in relation to certain forms of human trafficking. It contends that human trafficking occurs across the globe, requiring international, regional and local responses that incorporate different actors, both state and non-state. The ten contributions in the book deal with some of the most common forms of human trafficking, including forced labour, sexual exploitation and child trafficking, presenting challenges and opportunities for change that are currently being debated, especially in the European Union. The edited collection puts forward proposals to EU draft legislation and strategy in relation to human trafficking as well as making suggestions for change at domestic level.
