Description

Freedom for All: An Attorney's Guide to Fighting Human Trafficking 2nd Edition Kelly Hyland ISBN 9781639052974

Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, involving the physical or psychological coercion of individuals to perform labor or engage in commercial sexual services. An estimated 27.6 million people worldwide are trapped in forced labor or commercial sex, yet fewer than one percent are ever identified. Attorneys are uniquely positioned to help close this gap by incorporating identification, prevention, and victim-support strategies into their legal practices.

Freedom for All: An Attorney’s Guide to Fighting Human Trafficking, Second Edition shows attorneys across a wide range of practice areas how human trafficking intersects with everyday legal work, how their existing skills apply, and how they can begin integrating anti-trafficking efforts into their practice. The book serves both as a practical introduction for students and practicing attorneys and as a comprehensive overview of current legal efforts to combat trafficking. It also highlights the meaningful contributions of attorneys in the field and emerging developments in anti-trafficking law and advocacy.

Across criminal, corporate, employment, immigration, international, and public interest law, this is a critical moment to expand legal approaches, apply creative strategies, and implement new policies and programs. Greater efforts are urgently needed to improve identification, services, and prevention and to create lasting change in the lives of trafficked individuals. For anyone who has ever wondered, “What can I do?” Freedom for All provides clear and actionable answers.
