Thank you @AustJHumRights. Ten years on, migration status continues to be prioritised over trafficking & slavery-like exploitation, & the reliance on criminal justice persists. More equitable access to labour & migration rights, and independent measuring of policy impact is key
On this World Day against Trafficking in Persons, we encourage government action on trafficking (#endhumantrafficking) and open access to @MSegrave's 2009 article "Human Trafficking and Human Rights" from AJHR 14(2). doi.org/10.1080/1323238X.200… #ajhrarchives #openaccess
