Resources for Trafficking in Human Beings in the EU

 

 

Is the European Union’s response to trafficking in human beings appropriate to the realities of supply and demand?

 

The paper shows the EU's response to be inadequate, focusing on one aspect of the trade (punishing criminals and clamping down on networks) whilst ignoring the demand for skilled and unskilled labourers and sex workers as pull factors.
