No. 23 (2024): Special Issue - Following the Money II
Guest Editors: Kiril Sharapov, Suzanne Hoff, and Jonathan Mendel
This Special Issue of the Anti-Trafficking Review attempts to examine funding and spending on efforts to stop human trafficking, particularly, by the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union. Featuring articles from academics, non-government organisations, and survivors of trafficking, this edition explores where the money comes from, who it goes to, and what it actually achieves. The eight articles in the issue suggest that the millions of dollars spent on combating human trafficking do not always reach trafficked persons or at risk groups and, in some cases, are actively harming them. Authors point to potentially more effective uses of anti-trafficking funding.
