Human Trafficking: A Global Health Emergency

by Mary de Chesnay (Author) This book presents the various forms of human trafficking, a growing trend in the exploitation of large numbers of people with concurrent public health, socio-cultural, and economic costs to countries burdened with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Edited by psychiatric-mental health nurses and an applied anthropologist, this volume covers all forms of human trafficking: sex trafficking, forced labor, forced marriage, baby trafficking, organ trafficking, child marriage, and child soldiers with a global public health and policy focus. As such, it fills a gap in human trafficking and is built on courses springing up around the United States in multiple disciplines. Medical, mental health, and social work interventions are included as well as programs with documented outcomes. Each chapters includes the state of the art of knowledge with case studies illustrating specific focal ideas, discussion, questions and exercises help readers to retain and reinforce chapter material. This textbook will be useful in nursing, medicine, public health, social work, policy, and also to any discipline in which human trafficking is a current interest, such as law, criminal justice, and education.
