- Summary
-
Notably, the study pays special attention to the gaps in available data on trafficking in human beings for sexual exploitation and prostitution. It then analyses the external factors shaping demand and supply such as migration, labour and non-discrimination policy, gender equality, which might intervene in the effective implementation of certain policies, and produce side effects with a negative impact on trafficking for sexual exploitation at national or even EU level. The study attempts to explore, in a politically/ideologically neutral manner, and subject to the data available, whether certain legal approaches to prostitution have an influence on the quantitative and qualitative dimension of trafficking in human beings.
