This timely and critical volume calls for a fundamental rethinking of how human trafficking is understood and addressed. Bringing together voices of survivors, activists, practitioners and researchers, this collection interrogates why countless interventions by governments, NGOs and international bodies continue to fail.

Merging lived experience with critical scholarship, it offers fresh perspectives on the deep-rooted structural issues that fuel human trafficking such as poverty, racism, patriarchy and neoliberalism. The collection poses transformative ideas to reshape global anti-trafficking responses toward real, lasting justice and change.

Sarah Elliott is an international human rights lawyer and senior protection specialist with over a decade of experience working for the United Nations Refugee Agency. Megan Denise Smith is an independent consultant and expert in gender-based violence currently working with the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
