This new article on @beyondslavery.bsky.social demonstrates how the UK National Referral Mechanism for victims of #humantrafficking does damage to their asylum claims. It's partly based on an excellent article we published in 2024 (this one antitraffickingreview.org/index.php/at...)

The journal's Editor Borislav Gerasimov spoke with @joelquirk.bsky.social about what has changed in anti-trafficking work over the past 20 years, whether the anti-trafficking "movement" is learning, and what might lie ahead...

As an academic journal publishing research related to #humanrights, we reject incorrect and dehumanising terms such as "illegal migrant". Instead, we encourage the use of precise terms, such as irregular or undocumented migrant.
