Summary:

"Human trafficking has been at the forefront of policies and campaigns since the passing of the United Nations' Palermo Protocol in 2000. However, studies and analyses on human trafficking have been overwhelmingly limited in scope and approach since the anti-trafficking movement began. The truth about the involuntary exploitation of human beings by other human beings goes much further back in history than is often usually thought, despite the alleged novelty of this global crime. Also, the frame used to assess and combat trafficking was initially limited (namely by sex and trafficking type), and the fight to broaden it to include all forms of modern-day slavery is difficult and ongoing. This book aims to bring these issues together through a meta-study analysis that incorporates numerous international sources, such as the annual Trafficking in Persons Report and the Global Slavery Index. By looking closely at the definition of human trafficking and the application and implementation of trafficking laws, reviewing human exploitation over the millennia, identifying limitations and obstacles, and incorporating new avenues of research and rhetoric, this book offers readers a comprehensive approach to human trafficking."--Publisher's website.
