The Anti-Trafficking Review calls for papers for a special issue themed ‘Anti-Trafficking Education: Pedagogy, Policy, and Activism’. This special issue of Anti-Trafficking Review invites scholars, activists, practitioners, survivors, and others involved in anti-trafficking education to evaluate and share how they disseminate knowledge about trafficking. In addition to generating much-needed assessments of anti-trafficking pedagogical practices, the special issue will consider how anti-trafficking education is a growing field where facts, truths, lessons, and approved interventions become established. 

The new issue of Anti-Trafficking Review explores the assumptions about the role of technology in faciliating and preventing human trafficking and exploitation and the currently available technological tools that purport to serve this purpose.

Deadline for Submissions: 1 June 2020

The Anti-Trafficking Review calls for papers for a special issue themed ‘Trafficking in Minors’. Public and political debate on the phenomenon of child trafficking is generally deplete with emotional reactions, unverifiable statistics, and sensational ‘high profile’ cases repeated over and over again in the media. Despite an intense focus placed on children and minors in human trafficking representations, policies and measures, academic work on the issue is scattered across disciplines, and disproportionally focused on trafficking for sexual exploitation. Less work is done on other forms such as forced labour, forced begging and, in particular, exploitation of criminal activities. Moreover both concepts of ‘child trafficking’ and ‘exploitation’ are coloured by moral, emotional and/or ideological notions and dominant cultural constructions of childhood, (im)maturity, (un)acceptable labour, and  choice and consent.
