Abstract

Human trafficking can be traced back to the dawn of civilisation and it has economic, business and societal roots. Over the last half-century, human rights have gradually moved to centre stage in the global policy arena. And recently, security issues, poverty, inequality, law and inclusive development have also entered the picture on matters dealing with trafficking. This article provides a fresh look at the subject by focusing on trafficking from various perspectives that include consideration of diverse yet complementary dimensions - including the social sciences, security matters, business and human rights - to impart an understanding of the definitions, issues and problems to be tackled. As part of concluding remarks, suggestions for future action on the policy, practice and research fronts are offered.
