The human cost of exploitation
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) remains the most widely accepted metric in quantifying health burdens of disease states and risk factors globally. Studies have attempted to quantify the GBD associated with work-related exposures and conditions, but none have focused on migrant workers, who are known to experience higher risks of work-related injuries and deaths, and diverse forms of abuse and exploitation. Moreover, few studies have critically…
Strengthening and sustaining gender-based violence (GBV) coordination in emergencies
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global public health and human rights crisis, requiring coordinated efforts to ensure effective prevention, risk mitigation, and response, particularly in emergencies. Despite policy commitments underlining the importance of addressing GBV in emergencies, funding remains insufficient, inconsistent, and poorly aligned with aid prioritisation in the changing humanitarian and global health financing landscape. This p…
Transitioning Nutrition Care from Hospital to Primary Care
In Alberta, Canada, nutrition care is provided by Registered Dietitians (RDs) in two separate systems, hospital care and primary care. The aim of this quality improvement (QI) initiative is to design, implement, and evaluate a new pathway to optimize delivery of care during transitions
Navigating patients to improve access and reduce health inequities
Patient navigation structures in Calgary Zone, Alberta offers tailored patient-responsive services that improve access to clinical and non-clinical supports by marginalized or vulnerable patients. Calgary and area primary care networks (Calgary Zone) refers to seven primary care networks that operate within a healthcare region called Calgary Zone in Alberta, Canada
Human Trafficking of Boys and Young Men
The share of boys and men among detected victims of human trafficking is increasing globally, yet there is limited evidence on the specific experiences of these populations. The knowledge gap on mental health outcomes and support needs is particularly salient, which is problematic given the importance of psychological and emotional stabilisation in promoting recovery and avoiding re-victimisation. This systematic review reports on mental health o…
Gender based violence (GBV) coordination in a complex, multi-crisis context
Experiences from Lebanon highlight the essential role of government leadership in coordination; the value of investing in local GBV capacity; the significance of effective national, subnational and intersectoral coordination to support service delivery and address cross-cutting GBV issues; the importance of targeted interventions to support marginalised populations; and the need to prioritize the well-being of front-line staff during crisis respo…
An intervention-focused review of modern slave labor in Brazil’s mining sector
Mining constitutes an important sector in Brazil’s economy and has a history of modern slave labor. Brazil is the second largest producer of iron ore and manganese, a major exporter of gold and copper, and holds 40% of the world’s Tantalum reserves. The aim of this review is to summarize literature on modern slave labor in artisinal and small-scale mining in Brazil’s gold mining sector. Peer-reviewed and gray literature were screened for relevanc…
Mechanisms for the prevention of adolescent intimate partner violence
Adolescent girls are among those at the greatest risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Despite adolescence being widely regarded as a window of opportunity to influence attitudes and behaviours related to gender equality, evidence on what works to prevent IPV at this critical stage is limited outside of high-income, school-based settings. Even less is understood about the mechanisms of change in these interventions. We conducted a…
The Epidemiology of Young People’s Work and Experiences of Violence in Nine Countries
Globally, 497 million young people (15-24 years) are in the labour force. The current research on work and violence indicates reciprocal links across the life course. This study draws on data from 35,723 young people aged 13-24 years in the Violence Against Children Surveys (VACS) in nine countries to describe the epidemiology of work in order to explore associations between (1) current work and violence and (2) childhood violence and work in a h…
Paper
Our findings suggest that interventions to prevent or mitigate the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences can contribute to preventing the trafficking of adolescents in Nigeria and Uganda. These interventions include social protection mechanisms, universal access to education, social service referrals and education of parents and carers. Importantly, effective prevention also needs to address the systemic conditions that makes trafficki…
Workplace Violence Against Adolescents, Uganda, 2014–2019
Objectives. To describe the prevalence of and risk factors for workplace violence among Ugandan adolescents. Methods. The analysis focused on adolescents recruited at primary schools who participated in the endline survey of a trial in 2014 (at ages 11–14 years) and were followed up in 2018–2019 (at ages 17–19 years). The analysis was restricted to those engaged in past-year paid work (n = 1406). We estimated the prevalence of past-year workplace…
Human Trafficking
Preventing modern slavery is of global interest, but evidence on interventions remains weak. This paper presents findings from a 5-year theory-based evaluation of an empowerment and knowledge-building intervention to prevent the exploitation of South Asian female migrant workers. The evaluation used realist evaluation techniques to examine the intervention mechanisms, outcomes, and context. Findings from qualitative and quantitative data from Nep…
Human trafficking and violence
An analysis of the world's largest data set on trafficking victims indicates that violence is indeed prevalent and gendered. While these results show that trafficking-related violence is common, findings suggest there are patterns of violence, which highlights that post-trafficking services must address the specific support needs of different survivors
Latin American young Neets
Globally, one fifth of individuals aged 15–24 are ‘not in employment, education or training’ (NEET). NEETs have become an increasingly important notion in international debate, although criticisms are directed at its all-encompassing nature and lack of concern with the intergenerational, gendered, social and systemic inequalities that influence young people becoming NEETs. Prevalence of youth NEETs is especially high in Latin America, with women …
Nepali Women’s Labour Migration
With the increase in female migration, especially in the domestic sector, and accompanying reports of worker exploitation and abuse, labour-sending countries are grappling with the question of how to protect these workers. Drawing on a critical feminist policy analysis framework, this article analyses the policy and regulatory frameworks of Nepal related to female labour migration and examines their implications. Our analysis indicates that Nepal…
The scientific knowledge on child labor in Latin America
Child labor is a social and human tragedy. More than an inequity, it is a matter of injustice. Working during childhood deprives a vulnerable group, dependent on protection to survive, from fundamental human and social rights. The cruelty underlying child labor goes far beyond children's present. It affects their entire life course, compromises their own future and upcoming generations through a vicious persistent circle. Child labor also affects…
“Because if we talk about health issues first, it is easier to talk about human trafficking”; findings from a mixed methods study on health needs and service provision among migrant and trafficked fis…
BACKGROUND: Human trafficking in the fishing industry or "sea slavery" in the Greater Mekong Subregion is reported to involve some of the most extreme forms of exploitation and abuse. A largely unregulated sector, commercial fishing boats operate in international waters far from shore and outside of national jurisdiction, where workers are commonly subjected to life-threatening risks. Yet, research on the health needs of trafficked fishermen is s…
Mental health, violence and psychological coercion among female and male trafficking survivors in the greater Mekong sub-region
The experiences of violence and coercion in female and male trafficking survivors differed and were associated with an elevated prevalence of anxiety, depression, and PTSD in both females and males. Mental health services must be an integral part of service provision, recovery and re-integration for trafficked females and males
Migration Planning Among Female Prospective Labour Migrants from Nepal
As international female labour migration has increased, so too have efforts to prevent the exploitation of labour migrants. However, evidence to underpin prevention efforts remains limited, with little known about labour migrants’ migration planning processes. Using data from a survey of female prospective labour migrants from Nepal, this article compares socio‐demographics and migration‐planning processes between first‐time and repeat‐migrants. …

Health of men, women, and children in post-trafficking services in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam
BACKGROUND: Trafficking is a crime of global proportions involving extreme forms of exploitation and abuse. Yet little research has been done of the health risks and morbidity patterns for men, women, and children trafficked for various forms of forced labour. METHODS: We carried out face-to-face interviews with a consecutive sample of individuals entering 15 post-trafficking services in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. We asked participants abou…
History of Persecution and Health Outcomes Among U.S. Refugees
Findings from the Sasa! Study
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV are important and interconnected public health concerns. While it is recognized that they share common social drivers, there is limited evidence surrounding the potential of community interventions to reduce violence and HIV risk at the community level. The SASA! study assessed the community-level impact of SASA!, a community mobilization intervention to prevent violence and reduce HIV-risk beha…

Trafficking in persons
Human trafficking is a phenomenon that has now been documented in most regions in the world. Although trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation is the most commonly recognised form of trafficking, it is widely acknowledged that human trafficking also involves men, women and children who are trafficked for various forms of labour exploitation and into other abusive circumstances. Despite the violence and harm inherent in most traffick…
