Over the last 5 years, I travelled to more than 30 countries and spoke to more than 100 counter-trafficking practitioners to research the definition of 'trafficking in persons'. A consolidation of that work, co-authored with @AnneTGallagher is out now #TIP
Our latest issue paper 📝 on the international legal definition of #TIP is now available online! unodc.org/documents/human-tr…
