What Perspectives to Challenge Exploitation?

This briefing paper draws attention to positions being developed by politicians and policy makers across Europe for whom trafficking in human beings (THB) is regarded as more-or-less synonymous with irregular migration and the position of undocumented migrants. In a recent statement the UK Home Secretary, John Reid, argues that “people traffickers, […] are behind three-quarters of illegal migration to this country, [leaving] vulnerable and often desperate people at the mercy of organised criminals.” (Home Office 2007, p.2)
