The book highlights the root cause of human trafficking and
analyses how factors of vulnerability affect the marginalized,
especially during and after a disaster. Human trafficking like
other studies on disaster research, needs to be tackled from
various perspectives such as empowering the vulnerable people,
creating awareness, strengthening the disaster risk reduction
measures and creating a common platform to fight the vicious circle
by breaking its continuity and making strategies victim centric and
people friendly. The book adapts a multidisciplinary approach
embedding concepts from political, social, economic and
anthropological perceptions. The discourse in the book revolves
around the emotional and psycho-social stress factors including
weak implementation of laws and policies at various levels. The
content weaves around three themes -- magnitude and interlinks
between disaster and human trafficking; policies and protocols on
disaster risk reduction and human trafficking and community
participation and institutional support. Through these themes, the
volume works on identification of the vulnerable areas which are
not in compliance with the Sendai Framework of Action, 2015 in the
backdrop of the Disaster Management Act of India, 2005. The volume
will be of immense interest to a wide range of practitioners,
researchers, academicians, policy makers, political leaders, gender
experts, international organizations, disaster management
authorities, civil society organisations, and scholars working in
the area of human rights in general and trafficking in particular.
Note: This research was funded by Indian Council of Social Science
Research (ICSSR). Human Trafficking is complex, layered and lies at
the intersections of multiple vulnerabilities, gender being among
the most significant ones. This gets exacerbated during both
natural and human made disasters. Any attempt to either understand
or address it will be fraught with challenges if women and girls'
unique vulnerabilities, as well as their needs, voice, choice,
agency and safety is not centre-staged in any effort. Mondira's
book does exactly that...it succinctly and in simple words explores
the compounding discriminations, including structural inequalities,
that cause and result in women and girls differential gendered
vulnerabilities to being trafficked during disasters. Once this is
understood, the solutions can be specific, gender responsive, and
sustainable. - Anju Dubey Pandey, Gender Responsive Governance and
