Rezensionen

"This book provides an important examination of the challenging subject of human trafficking, especially children. The book makes an impassioned case for the moral obligations to respond, and the legal and political possibilities to address this social and human problem. It is a critical contribution to a necessary social conversation that will have a lasting impact."

Mary Burke, Professor of Psychology, Carlow University

"This book provides an important examination of a socially and politically relevant and challenging topic. The exploration of how international law could be applied to hold traffickers accountable for trafficking children is important, given legal loopholes which exist to prevent trafficking prosecution both domestically (in the US) and abroad. International law has a unique opportunity to make a difference in sex trafficking cases. The overlap between child abuse and child trafficking is clear and well covered in this book, providing a framework for legal approaches to trafficker prosecution."

Dr. M. Elizabeth Bowman, PhD, LCSW, Lived Experience Expert

"Larry May powerfully exposes the unconscionable horrors of child trafficking in its myriad insidious forms. In response, he proposes how international law can help stanch these harms."

Mark A. Drumbl, Director at the Transnational Law Institute, Washington and Lee University
