Laura María Agustín's trenchant and controversial critique of the anti-trafficlang crusade goes a step further: it lays out the matter - in this case, "human trafficking" - on the operating table, dissects it, unravels its innards, and shows the reader, in gory, sometimes eye-watering detail, why everything we think about it is Wrong with a capital W. It's a jarring read; I imagine that those who make a living from campaigning against the scourge of human trafficking will throw it violently across the room, if not into an incinerator. Agustín points out that some anti-trafficking activists depend on numbers produced by the CIA (not normally considered a reliable or neutral font of information when it comes to international issues), even though the CIA refuses to "divulge its research m...

The article explores the social, cultural and economical processes that lead Roma children into labour and their own interpretations of the value and risks of working.

The article is interested in the relationship between children and family, school and community and attempts to decipher what aspects in these relations encourage early entry into work. It argues that Roma children do occasional, poorly skilled, work that is relevant in their family economy, but invisible in and acceptable for broader society. Ultimately, the article argues that casting the situation of Ro...

Chilling official statistics from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs that around 36,000 women are beaten every day by their partners, and from a government report to the Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women that an estimated 14,000 are murdered every year by partners or family members, highlight the scale and severity of the domestic violence from which children run. At UNICEF's Innocenti Research Centre's conference in Italy in April, its Director Marta Santos Pais stressed that the adoption of a general approach to human trafficking had meant that 'we have failed to understand who are the children at great risk.' In Disposable People, Kevin Bales has described how parents in northern Thailand send daughters to brothels in the south, often t...
