Summary
The publication is one out of four working papers published by GAATW. All four working papers cover the following areas:

• Basic concepts in the field
• Examples of the links between trafficking and other issues in the
work of civil society actors, governments, and other stakeholders
• The beneficial and harmful effects of these simultaneous factors on
working migrant women
• The importance of using a human rights-based approach
• How groups from different sectors can work together in new ways
• Policy recommendations

More specifically this paper focuses on the link between labour and trafficking and the intersections between these two concepts. The paper aims at showing how important it is that peoples rights are respected in the working area, and how it can be problematic that the focus of policy making, lobby work etc is often placed on movement instead of working conditions.
