Is Trafficking in Human Beings Demand Driven? A Multi-Country Pilot Study by Bridget Anderson & Julia O’Connell Davidson, International Organization for Migration (2003)

The research literature reveals that while debt can lock migrants into highly asymmetrical, personalistic, and often...

Posted by on Oct 2, 2013 in IGO/NGO Reports | Comments Off

ECPAT-USA’s groundbreaking report “And Boys, Too” addresses the widely overlooked prevalence of commercial sexual exploitation in young boys and men. Currently the little notice given to boys primarily identifies them as exploiters, pimps and buyers of sex, or as active and willing participants in sex work, not as victims or survivors of exploitation. “And Boys, Too” breaks the silence with startling information about sex trafficking in boys and the shortage of...
