Issue 3 of the Anti-Trafficking Review
focuses on money trails in the anti-trafficking sector, and is the
first of its kind as to date there has been no research on how much is
spent combating the human rights abuses that amount to human
trafficking. This themed issue looks at money trails that reveal how
anti-trafficking money has changed the world for the better or for
worse.
Trafficked
persons do not always benefit from money flows aimed in their
direction, or indeed may suffer as a result of anti-trafficking
spending. In addition, politics behind anti-trafficking money abound,
and recipient organisations wonder whether they should take 'tied' funds
or funds with ideological, geographical or other restrictions. In
recent years governments have rushed to spend money on a range of poorly
designed initiatives in the hope of avoiding or moving out of a low
ranking in the US government's yearly Trafficking in Persons Report.
Published by the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (http://www.gaatw.org/), the Anti-Trafficking Review
is a peer-reviewed academic journal that promotes a human rights based
approach to anti-trafficking, and offers a space for dialogue for those
seeking to communicate new ideas and findings. The journal is an open
