Abstract

The Introduction begins with an outline of what human trafficking entails and the international and regional legal regime as it currently stands. It contends that human trafficking occurs across the globe, requiring international, regional and local responses that incorporate different actors, both state and non-state. The ten contributions in the special issue deal with some of the most common forms of human trafficking, including forced labour, sexual exploitation and child trafficking. The Introduction also outlines that there are many forms of human trafficking that are not as well-known but that, nevertheless, also require legal and policy responses. Some country good practice examples are provided. The Introduction also includes legal and policy proposals as agreed upon at both workshops.

Esta Introducción comienza con un bosquejo de lo que implica la trata de personas, y el régimen jurídico internacional y regional de estos momentos. Argumenta que el tráfico de personas ocurre en todo el mundo, requiere una respuesta internacional, regional y local que implique a diferentes agentes, tanto estatales como externos al estado. Las diez contribuciones que forman este número monográfico tratan sobre algunas de las formas más comunes de tráfico de personas, incluyendo trabajos forzados, explotación sexual y tráfico de niños. Además, la Introducción sugiere que hay muchas formas de tráfico de personas que no son tan conocidas pero que, sin embargo, también exigen respuestas legales y políticas.

Por último, la Introducción incluye también propuestas legales y políticas que han recibido conformidad en los dos talleres que han originado este monográfico.
