Humans have extensively migrated in the greatest variety of
circumstances throughout history. The cause factors have been
climatic, political, economic, religious, and love of adventure.
Today, around 200 M people are living beyond their homes of origin.
And yet a number of people fall prey to unconventional, if not
risky, migration paths. One of these paths is by being trafficked -
often called modern-day slavery is the recruitment, transportation,
or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation. About 600,000
to 800,000 people, mostly women and children, are annually
trafficked across national borders. In addition, some people are
also forced to leave their origin for reasons of race, religion,
nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political
opinion and become refugees in third countries. The numbers have
been alarmingly, on the rise. All the three issues have been very
significant in the study of human geography, sociology, and in
political economy. Interested scholars and students of all branches
of social sciences will find this book useful.
