The widespread contemporary slavery and trafficking of men, women and children is unacceptable to people of conscience the world over. Traditional approaches to preventing trafficking in human beings, to protect and assist trafficked persons and bring criminals to justice have had some small impact on the global phenomenon, but not enough. The human and social consequences of trafficking are compelling. From the physical abuse and torture of victims to the psychological and emotional trauma, to the economic and political implications of unabated crime, the impact on individuals and society is clearly destructive and unacceptable. Since the adoption of Palermo Protocol there is a worldwide battle against human trafficking to end this crime, however, lack of clarity related to even basic terms and definitions in different countries including their national political concerns and uncertainty regarding adopted policies have caused severe damages for a systematic and consistent implementation and sustainable action against human trafficking. Thus, the present book analyzes the international narratives on human trafficking to understand in different social, cultural, economic and political context.
