Anti-Trafficking Review explores trafficking in the broader context of gender, labour, and migration. It is published by The Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) and seeks to be a space for dialogue between academics, practitioners, trafficked persons and advocates. The journal successfully combines its activist foundation with the academic integrity of other journals in the field. Each issue is devoted to a specific theme and submissions but therefore respond to a call for papers, which is published on the journal web site about six months before the submission deadline.
