Human trafficking: The shameful face of migration.

Issue Image

In the June editorial, the PLoS Medicine Editors highlight the global importance, impact, and health implications of trafficking in persons. The Editors argue that despite internationally agreed policies outlining states' responsibilities to protect those affected by trafficking, many countries lack the political will to establish those protections. This editorial is part of the PLoS Medicine Migration & Health Collection, which provides new insights into the ways by which global movement of people influence the health of individuals and populations, and sets out policy approaches for protecting the health of those most vulnerable during the five phases of migration.
