Millions of people across the globe are subjected to forced labor, often without pay and under the constant fear of violence. These individuals can be found engaged in various forms of work, including brothels, factories, mines, farm fields, restaurants, construction sites, and private homes. Many of them have fallen victim to human traffickers who deceive them with false promises of good jobs or educational opportunities, while others are coerced into labor through the use of force or intimidation. Some are even trapped by fraudulent debts incurred from unscrupulous moneylenders.

The SAGE Handbook of Human Trafficking and Modern-Day Slavery offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and global examination of the multifaceted issues surrounding human trafficking and slavery in the post-1945 context. Spanning a wide range of topics, including history, literature, politics, economics, international law, and geography, this Handbook is an indispensable resource for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and non-governmental organizations alike. By providing a comprehensive analysis of this complex phenomenon, the Handbook aims to shed light on the various dimensions of human trafficking and slavery, and to contribute to the development of effective strategies for their prevention, mitigation, and prosecution.
