Paragraph
Paragraph text
Indeed, issues relating to migration and freedom of movement are perhaps the most problematic of human rights concerns surrounding anti-trafficking measures. Measures which restrict legal migration channels risk exacerbating both human trafficking and human smuggling, as well as the human rights violations which surround them. Trafficking is an outcome of global political and economic realities, particularly massive disparities of wealth and standard of living. This must be taken into consideration in the formulation of any response to the demand for human trafficking.
