With the passage in 2000 of the UN Optional Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children and similar legal agreements at national and regional levels, anti-trafficking has become a gravitational force in contemporary governance and social advocacy.

With the end of the Cold War and the dismantling of Soviet and east European state socialism, a new “wave” of sex trafficking captured the attention of governments and humanitarians alike.
