Description

Human Trafficking to Human Rights: A New Approach to Contemporary Slavery Alison Brysk and Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick argue that human trafficking is not just about exploitation, but also about human rights and social justice. This book reframes the issue by exploring its roots in global economy, security, foreign policy, labor relations, and gender issues. The authors contend that a deep understanding of human rights principles can improve analysis and response to trafficking. They propose concrete policy approaches to end slavery responsibly, moving away from rescue-focused responses and towards empowerment and recognition of social rights and personal freedoms. By rethinking trafficking as a matter of power relations, this book offers a fresh perspective on the issue, one that prioritizes protection with empowerment and interdependence of social rights and personal freedoms.
