Abstract

This article focuses on the dynamics at stake under the gap between the government official involvement against all forms of human trafficking and the few numbers of detected and convicted cases in the domestic work sector, and underlines the uncertainty around the definition of this type of trafficking and its status as a legitimate public issue. The analysis shows the intertwined dynamics, at the level of civil servants involved in the implementation of the policy, at the legal and administrative level, and finally at the political level, which tends to restrict the identification of THB cases in this sector.
