Abstract

This article critically analyzes contemporary discourses on trafficking of human beings. It argues that anti-trafficking policies focused on combating transnational organized crime and prostitution reflect national identity considerations and gender stereotypes in society rather than the needs of the victims concerned. For the successful combat of human trafficking, a more gendered and human rights-centered approach is required. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved). (journal abstract)
