Routledge - The Role of Consent in Human Trafficking Book

Human trafficking remains a major priority on the global political agenda. In this scholarly work from Routledge, Jessica Elliott examines the trafficking of adult female victims for sexual exploitation. The text focuses on how the concept of consent influences the identification and treatment of trafficking victims in real-world scenarios. This book explores the complexities that arise when applying the notion of consent to migration and sexual exploitation. Elliott argues that current international laws face significant challenges in addressing these issues. The author highlights how establishing the presence of coercion and a lack of consent can be highly problematic, especially in situ. This text provides a deep look into the legal and social hurdles faced by those working to identify and support victims within the existing legal frameworks.
