Cold Water Swimming by Sarnia de la Maré 60 Second Love Stories for Mills and Swoon

Mills and Swoon 'Cold Water Swimming' 60-Second Love Story no2 by Penelope la Maré

The water was like ice so Meryl got out and hobbled towards her dry towel.

But the shivering would not stop and she wondered why she had even contemplated the cold water swim on this overcast January day.

But Jack was so glad she had come,

Although Meryl had only managed a few moments in the winter stream, he was captivated by her large fertile breasts and quivering behind. She looked like Bo Dereck as she scrambled to the shore.

'Let me,' he said, taking his spare dry towel and vigorously rubbing her down.

Suddenly, Meryl felt a deep penetrating energy, a lifted grey cloud and a charge of electric desire all at once. And at that moment, there on the shingle beach, it finally happened. The door to passion opened once again.

Ten years on, have we moved Beyond Trafficking and Slavery?

BTS articles are accessible, engaging and packed with cutting-edge analysis. They're perfect for scholars, students, practitioners, activists, and anybody else wanting to better understand exploitation in the global economy today.

For our tenth anniversary, we've collected everything we've ever published into a single, searchable e-handbook. Containing 1000 articles from 800 authors, this book has you covered no matter where your interests lie. A gift to you, our readers, from us.

Dear Sarnia,

Parties for ten year olds are popular in the anti-trafficking world right now. The Freedom Fund celebrated a decade last May, the UK’s Modern Slavery Act in March. Closer to home, we at Beyond Trafficking and Slavery (BTS) also just entered double figures. It was either throw a party as well or take a long, hard look in the mirror. We opted for the latter.

In comes our new, ten-year anniversary feature. This series of articles takes stock by asking how the anti-trafficking field has evolved and where it looks to be heading in the future. And it turns the microscope on ourselves, by offering up a critique of anti-trafficking’s critics – including BTS – over the last decade.

After ten years of work, we really want to know: why, from our vantage point, does it seem like the world has made so little progress on moving Beyond Trafficking and Slavery?

Running in circles or moving forward?

When BTS was founded in 2014, our primary goal was to amplify the voices of activists and researchers who were trying to chart a course away from criminal justice responses to exploitation. We united around a shared suspicion of the anti-trafficking ‘mainstream’, which we regarded as self-serving and superficial, and a shared concern that anti-trafficking campaigns were displacing collective struggles for migrant and worker rights.

We believed that moving beyond trafficking and slavery required focusing upon economic and political systems, rather than individual criminals. That meant facing up to the elephant in the room: neoliberal capitalism.

We have now spent over a decade trying to change how people respond to human trafficking. But despite our best efforts, all the things we hoped to move beyond remain foundational to anti-trafficking policy and activism today. We sometimes feel like a hamster on a wheel. No matter how fast we run, we keep seeing the same kinds of talking points, policies, and arguments show up. We know many of our readers and writers share this frustration.

Through conversations with our contributors, readers and critics, we've identified some key mistakes we've made over the years. Firstly, it was wrong to place trafficking at the centre of our analysis. By doing so, we've become dependent on the very problem we seek to resolve. We've also come to learn that debates about terminology don't tend to get us very far. And that we can't treat anti-trafficking as a monolith, because the field is not one thing.

Find out more about what we've learnt, and what we'd do differently if we could start all over again:
