Beyond Borders: Mapping the Global Patterns of Women and Children Trafficking

Supervisors:

Associate Professor Joshua Aston and Dr Mostafa Naser.

Abstract

Human trafficking, a crime against humanity, involves the violation of human rights, human dignity, and exploitation, predominantly targeting women and children. It encompasses forced prostitution, sexual slavery, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation across the world. The magnitude of this crime is staggering, with annual transactions amounting to billions of dollars, highlighting its pervasive nature. Despite international legal frameworks such as the UNTOC and the Palermo Protocol, trafficking continues to thrive, with increasing rates observed globally. To combat this shameful crime effectively, legal measures prioritising victim welfare and sustainable societal development are essential. Inclusive growth strategies that protect human rights for all are crucial for long-term eradication. By fostering societal development and ensuring human rights protection, we can work towards eliminating human trafficking and safeguarding both victims and society as a whole.
