商品簡介
Activists and scholars engaged with women's issues and human rights try to clarify some confusion about the meaning of human trafficking and the impact measures taken to end it have on poor people around the world. Diverging from the views of global political leaders and the mainstream media, they explain how trafficking is conceptualized, redefined, and made operational by people who work in the field and value the rights and lives of the poor and marginalized. They draw from research and activism primarily in Asia since the 1990s, and focus on people's livelihood arrangements and survival strategies under new forms of globalization.
