Trafficking in Women Forced Labour and Slavery-Like Practices in Marriage Domestic Labour and Prostitution

This book by Marjan Wijers and Lin Lap-Chew is an international study that examines the trafficking of women as a form of forced labor and slavery-like practices in three main domains: marriage, domestic work, and prostitution. With a cover featuring a close-up of a woman's neck, the book visually emphasizes the vulnerability of women's bodies, which are exploited and silenced in trafficking situations. It analyzes how women are recruited and moved through deception, coercion, or abuse of vulnerability to be exploited in forced/order marriages across borders, domestic work with excessive hours without adequate wages and restrictions on movement, and the commercial sex industry. The study unravels the links between migration, market demand, state policies, and gender norms that perpetuate these slavery-like practices. The book also critiques international and national legal frameworks, highlighting victims' rights to protection, redress, and access to justice, and calls for a human rights-based approach and a victim-centered perspective in combating trafficking. Aimed at academics, policymakers, human rights activists, and legal aid workers, this book is a key reference for understanding trafficking in women not simply as a criminal issue, but as a human rights violation rooted in structural inequality.
