Throughout the world, vulnerable people are being deceived into entering abusive journeys. Whether in the organ trade, exploitative labour businesses or forced criminality, their lives will never be the same. This book traces the journey of victims/survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking into and within the UK, from recruitment to representation to (re)integration. Using global comparative case studies, it discusses recruitment tactics and demand, prevention in supply chains, issues with effective legal protection and care services and vulnerability to re-trafficking. It also examines the ideological misrepresentation of vulnerable migrants and victims/survivors in media, the film industry, legislation and more. Rooted in diverse practitioner experience, disciplines and empirical research, this book bridges the experience-research-practice-policy gap by bringing to the fore survivors' voices. In doing so, it offers crucial suggestions for better public awareness, policies and practices that will impact interventions in the UK and beyond.

This thought-provoking collection brings together academics from a range of disciplines to examine modern slavery. It illustrates how different disciplinary positions, methodologies and perspectives form and clash together through a kaleidoscopic view to contribute a unique insight into critical modern slavery studies. Providing a platform to critique the legal, ideological and political responses to the issue, experts interrogate the construct of modern slavery and the anti-trafficking discourse which have dominated contemporary responses to and understandings of exploitation. Drawing on a range of global real-world examples, this is a vital contribution to the study of modern slavery.

African slaves were brought into Brazil as early as 1530, with abolition in 1888. During those three centuries, Brazil received 4,000,000 Africans, over four times as many as any other American destination. Comparatively speaking, Brazil received 40% of the total number of Africans brought to the Americas, while the US received approximately 10%. Due to this huge influx of Africans, today Brazil's African-descended population is larger than the population of most African countries. Therefore, it is no surprise that Slavery Studies are one of the most consolidated fields in Brazilian historiography. In the last decades, a number of discussions have flourished on issues such as slave agency, slavery and law, slavery and capitalism, slave families, demography of slavery, transatlantic slave trade, abolition etc. In addition to these more consolidated fields, current research has focused on illegal enslavement, global perspectives on slavery and the slave trade, slavery and gender, the engagement of different social groups in the abolitionist movement or Atlantic connections. Taking into consideration these new trends of Brazilian slavery studies, this volume of collected articles gives leading scholars the chance to present their research to a broader academic community. Thus, the interested reader get to know in more detail these current trends in Brazilian historiography on slavery.

Gennem 25 år har Jette Norup Würtz arbejdet i AC Børnehjælp, der nu hedder DIA, og har i den forbindelse besøgt mange af verdens fattigste lande med et særligt fokus på børn, unge og familier i udsatte positioner.Jette fortæller om personlige møder med børn og familier og om vilkår, der ofte bliver til generaliseringer i tv-spots eller artikler. Ofte har Jette hørt fra udenforstående, at det kan være svært at føle nærværet til de projekter, der laves landsdækkende indsamlinger til.Skæbnerne er mange, udfordringerne er store, men samtidig er det vigtigt at finde mulighederne ved hjælp af en støttende håndsrækning fra en organisation, hvad enten den er stor eller lille. Det er betydningen af denne lille håndsrækning, som bliver fortalt med den nysgerriges blik, forsøget på at finde balance, når der ved selvsyn er ubalance i livets vægtskål.I 2018 skiftede Jette spor jobmæssigt. Virkelighedens historier, som er blevet fortalt og oplevet sammen med børnene, har bidt sig fast. Alverdens børnestemmer trænger sig på og vil med denne bog nå bredere ud i verden. Det nytter at hjælpe.

I Panseren & tøsen fortæller begge deres historie. Erik Hauervig, der også er forfatter til fem kriminalromaner, beretter om sin karriere som politimand med speciale i prostitution, og så giver han sin skarpe mening til kende om, hvorfor købesex bør forbydes i Danmark, og fortæller om sit virke i NGO-organisationen NEWLIVES, der arbejder for at hjælpe kvinder til at starte en ny tilværelse. Marlene Simoni fortæller gribende og stærkt om, hvordan hun – og mange kvinder som hende – er endt i prostitution, og hvad man oplever i en verden, som de færreste af os kender til. Marlene beskriver desuden sin vej ud af prostitution til et almindeligt liv, hvor al mad ikke længere har en bismag af latex.Panseren & tøsen er en bog, der gerne må skabe debat og dialog. Erik Hauervig og Marlene Simoni tager selv hul på debatten i bogens tredje del, hvor de diskuterer lystigt med hinanden. De er ikke enige om, hvad der er vigtigst: et forbud mod købesex eller en styrket indsats med handleplaner og forebyggende indsatser for de enkelte kvinder. Eller hvordan de to ting skal kombineres. Men de er enige om, at noget må der gøres.Uddrag af bogenEn dag ringede min telefon. Det var den vagthavende: ”Hauervig, jeg har en hastende sag til dig. Du har jo alt det med de prostituerede, kig over.”Jeg hastede hen til vagthavendes kontor sammen med min medhjælper Susanne, og da vi trådte ind på hans kontor, sad han med et smørret grin og sagde: ”Hauervig, der er netop sendt en ambulance med læge til en massageklinik i Eskildsgade. De har fundet en bevidstløs, nøgen kvinde, vil du kigge på sagen?”Susanne og jeg fik fat i en patruljevogn og kørte hurtigt til stedet. Vi ankom lige efter ambulancen og lægebilen. De to ambulancefolk fik straks lagt et tæppe omkring den nøgne kvinde, mens lægen gik i gang med at behandle hende. Han var hurtig til at konstatere, at der var tale om en overdosis medicin eller narkotika, hvorfor han gav hende en gang modgift. Lægen oplyste, at han ville have hende omkring hospitalet for at undersøge hende nærmere, men at hun var uden for livsfare.Om forfatterneErik Hauervig er tidligere panser. Marlene Simoni er tidligere prostitueret.Begge har de arbejdet over 35 år i en branche, der ikke kan undlade at efterlade ar på krop og sjæl, uanset om man er lovens lange arm eller spreder sine ben mod betaling fra liderlige mænd.

"Beyond 1619 brings an Atlantic and hemispheric perspective to the year 1619 as a marker of American slavery's origins and the beginnings of the Black experience in what would become the United States by situating the roots of racial slavery in a broader, comparative context. In recent years, an extensive public dialogue regarding the long shadow of slavery and racism in the United States has pushed Americans to confront the insidious history of race-based slavery and its aftermath, with 1619-the year that the first recorded persons of African descent arrived in British North America-taking center stage as its starting point. Yet this dialogue has inadvertently narrowed our understanding of slavery, race, and their repercussions in a wider Atlantic World and unintentionally reinforced a conception of American history as exceptional. In contrast, this book showcases the rich results when scholars examine and put into conversation multiple empires, regions, peoples, and cultures to get a more complete view of the rise of racial slavery in the Americas. Painting racial slavery's emergence on a hemispheric canvass, and in one compact volume, provides historical context beyond the 1619 moment for discussions of slavery, racism, antiracism, freedom, and lasting inequalities. In the process, this volume shines new light on these critical topics and illustrates the centrality of racial slavery, and contests over its rise, in nearly every corner of the early modern Atlantic World"--

Despite economic development, modern slavery persists all around the world. The issue is not only one of crime but the regulation of the economy, better welfare, and social protections. Going beyond polarized debates on the sex trade, an original empirical analysis shows the importance of profit-taking. Although individual experience matters, the root causes lie in intersecting regimes of inequality of gender regimes, capitalism, and the legacies of colonialism. This book shows the importance of coercion and the societal complexities that perpetuate modern slavery.
