Sex Trafficking and Human Rights: The Status of Women and State Responses … demonstrates that state responsiveness to human trafficking is shaped by the political, social, cultural, and economic rights afforded to women in that state. “Where women had cultural, political and economic rights, systems actually took human trafficking seriously as a crime and tried to fix it.
