“Human trafficking is a multifaceted crime. The issue is complex, global, and requires many players to truly understand it. If we really want to find solutions to minimize victimization, understand it, and effectively fight it, human trafficking has to be looked at from different disciplines. This book gives us great insight on what the issues are, what questions we should be asking, and some solutions as how to go forward.” 

Roksana Alavi

“Labor trafficking continues to be an invisible issue. Enrile takes labor trafficking out of the shadows and puts it in plain view for the reader, highlighting the challenges we face as individuals, and within local and international communities to target labor law violations and control supply chains.”
