No. 24 (2025): Special Issue – Family and Community
Guest Editor: Nerida Veale
This special issue of Anti-Trafficking Review explores the experiences, needs, and roles of those in the immediate environment of migrants and survivors of trafficking – their parents, siblings, spouses, children, and community. With contributions from Australia, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Albania, Nigeria, France, the United Kingdom, United States, and Peru, the articles in the issue highlight the complex roles of families in migration and human trafficking. On the one hand, families may exert pressure on migrants to engage in risky migration or endure exploitative work. On the other, families can also be key to helping migrants and trafficking survivors leave and recover from situations of exploitation. Contributors call for greater attention to family dynamics in the design and implementation of policies and programmes to support migrants and survivors of trafficking.
