Where in the Puzzle: Trafficking from, to and Through Slovenia (Assessment Study)

“In Where in the Puzzle: Trafficking From, To and Through Slovenia the authors issue a call for a change in migration policy (Zavratnik Zimic et al. 2003), with the argument that it would also influence trafficking in women for the purposes of sexual exploitation. Initiatives for the integration of women who are staying in Slovenia are needed, and there should exist initiatives for reintegration. Both studies criticise the fact that the issue of trafficking in Slovenia is portrayed in purely economic terms. Moreover, the victims of trafficking are perceived as criminals because they are involved in the sex industry – and not as victims, who are forced into illegal activities, or as migrants transgressing state borders.”
