This article in Utah Law Review, 2011 by Samuel Vincent Jones "explores the intersection between an attribute of the commercial media and American criminal jurisprudence that existing legal scholarship has largely disregarded: the systematic neglect of male victims in the publicity of human trafficking."

Labour migration has emerged as an important source of foreign currency in Bangladesh and the Government of Bangladesh has taken several policy initiatives in mainstreaming migration as well as catering services according to the needs of the migrant workers in the country. Nonetheless, there is still a knowledge gap on the types of services available to the migrants during the entire process of migration cycle namely pre-departure, post-arrival and return. The ILO and IOM with the support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) commenced a study on "Mapping and scoping of services for the migrant workers of Bangladesh at various stages of labour migration cycle”. The aim of the study was to assist the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment (MoEWOE), Wage Earners’ Welfare Board (WEWB) and relevant stakeholders to address the gap and identify scopes for further improvement in availing services to migrants from a gender-sensitive approach. The study highlights the major trends in labour migration, the institutional structure that governs labour migration from Bangladesh, identifies key service providers, gaps and challenges along with key recommendations.

This in-depth bi-lingual report by the ILO and Mahidol University's Institute for Population and Social Research – believed the first of its kind in Thailand – has uncovered significant human rights violations of young migrant workers ranging from physical assault, forced labour, a denial of freedom of movement, children in hazardous work – definable as worst forms of child labour – and routine psychological and verbal abuse. In some cases the labour exploitation is tantamount to that found in situations of human trafficking. Often out of the sight of both the authorities and most members of the Thai public, 82% of migrant domestic workers and 45% of young migrants toiling on fishing boats said they were required to work more than 12 hours per day, often seven days per week, according to the study. A must-read for Governments, Workers' and Employers' Organizations - as well as anti-trafficking practitioners worldwide.

This publication documents the process of foreign recruitment in case-study migration corridors across different regions. The result of the research brings to the fore the abuse of migrant workers by recruiters and seeks to contribute to broadening the choices workers have to find decent work at home and abroad.
The Atlantic, China, 31 May 2019 - When Liu Yanchang quit his factory job in Hebei province and took the four-hour bus ride to Beijing to become a courier, it was the farthest the 18-year-old had ever been from home. The new job, part of the booming e-commerce industry, offered him more money than he had ever made before, and he hoped to learn English and one day travel overseas. All in all, he was happy.
