Over the last decade, public, political, and scholarly attention
has focused on human trafficking and contemporary forms of slavery.
Yet as human rights scholars Alison Brysk and Austin
Choi-Fitzpatrick argue, most current work tends to be more
descriptive and focused on trafficking for sexual exploitation. In
From Human Trafficking to Human Rights, Brysk, Choi-Fitzpatrick,
and a cast of experts demonstrate that it is time to recognize
human trafficking as more a matter of human rights and social
justice, rooted in larger structural issues relating to the global
economy, human security, U.S. foreign policy, and labor and gender
relations. Such reframing involves overcoming several of the most
difficult barriers to the development of human rights discourse:
women's rights as human rights, labor rights as a confluence of
structure and agency, the interdependence of migration and
discrimination, the ideological and policy hegemony of the United
States in setting the terms of debate, and a politics of global
justice and governance. Throughout this volume, the argument is
clear: a deep human rights approach can improve analysis and
response by recovering human rights principles that match
protection with empowerment and recognize the interdependence of
social rights and personal freedoms. Together, contributors to the
volume conclude that rethinking trafficking requires moving our
orientation from sex to slavery, from prostitution to power
relations, and from rescue to rights. On the basis of this
argument, From Human Trafficking to Human Rights offers concrete
policy approaches to improve the global response necessary to end
slavery responsibly.
