This issue contains a dual focus: First, it explores the role of the private sector in combatting trafficking in persons and other contemporary forms of slavery. To this end, it offers a brief overview of the evolution of the notion of corporate social responsibility.
Second, it offers some reflections on trafficking in persons in conflict situations, and the impact of the Libya crisis on migration patterns and the exacerbated risks being faced by migrants.
This issue also looks at the efforts being made in the Americas to combat contemporary forms of slavery. Moving away from the Americas, Issue no.12 also looks at Turkey, a key destination country for victims of trafficking in its region, which is now looking more closely at demand-focused initiatives.
