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:

    Summary of Pride and Prejudice in English and French.English Version.


    Summary of Pride and Prejudice in English and French.English Version. By Jane AustenPublished: 1813 Genre: Romance, Social CommentarySet in early 19th-century England, Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a witty and independent young woman, as she navigates issues of class, marriage, and morality. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters in a middle-class family with little wealth and no male heir, making marriage a practical necessity for financial security.When the wealthy and reserved Mr. Darcy enters her social circle, Elizabeth initially finds him proud and disagreeable. Their relationship is marked by mutual misunderstandings and social pressures. However, as both characters confront their own flaws—Elizabeth’s prejudice and Darcy’s pride—they grow and change, ultimately realizing their deep love and respect for one another.Austen uses sharp dialogue and keen social observation to critique the rigid class structure of her time. The novel champions individual merit and personal integrity over social status and wealth.
    French Version.Résumé de Orgueil et Préjugés Par Jane AustenPublié en : 1813 Genre : Roman d’amour, satire socialeSitué dans l’Angleterre du début du XIXe siècle, Orgueil et Préjugés suit Elizabeth Bennet, une jeune femme vive et indépendante, confrontée aux enjeux du mariage, des classes sociales et de la morale. Deuxième d’une fratrie de cinq filles dans une famille de la petite noblesse sans héritier mâle, Elizabeth vit dans un contexte où le mariage est souvent le seul moyen d’assurer sa sécurité financière.Elle fait la connaissance de M. Darcy, un homme riche, réservé et apparemment hautain. Dès leur première rencontre, Elizabeth le juge orgueilleux, tandis que lui la considère peu convenable selon les normes sociales de son rang. Leur relation est marquée par des malentendus et des jugements erronés. Cependant, chacun finit par reconnaître ses propres erreurs : Elizabeth son préjugé, et Darcy son orgueil. Grâce à cette évolution personnelle, ils apprennent à s’estimer mutuellement et tombent amoureux.À travers un style plein d’esprit et une observation fine des mœurs de son époque, Jane Austen critique la rigidité des classes sociales et valorise l’amour sincère, le respect et l’intégrité personnelle plutôt que la richesse ou le statut.
