Since the 2005 publication of the highly acclaimed first edition of Trafficking and Prostitution Reconsidered, human trafficking has become virtually a household phrase.

This new edition adds vitally important updates related to recent developments. A new introduction considers the term sex trafficking and its growing use amongst feminist researchers.

In a new chapter Ratna Kapur looks at changes in anti-trafficking legislation especially under the Obama administration.

Jyoti Sanghera reports from her experience as a UN Human Rights commissioner and Bandana Pattanaik examines feminist participatory research on trafficking.

The book concludes with a list of relevant websites, organisations, and publications useful for students, researchers, and activists.
