Abstract
Anti-human trafficking efforts have been broadly classified as originating from within governmental and non-governmental organizations. This chapter presents a framing overview of these efforts, as well as the known vulnerability risks to trafficking as introductory material. This is followed by the identification and supporting discussion of a set of vulnerability amplifiers that may increase the vulnerability of victims to trafficking. These amplifiers include the presence of social normalization of deviance, a lack of enforcement of labor laws, a remaining lack of recognition regarding labor trafficking, and resulting ramifications. These risk amplifiers form the basis for a set of paths forward principles, offered to guide community development actions to improve prevention and detection of human trafficking.

The most fundamental determinants of modern slavery are the presence of violence and coercion. One of the important points here is the limitation on people’s freedom areas. The literature on the subject states that not all work which includes coercion can be seen as slavery; seizure of people’s ID cards and/or passports and restriction of their right of movement are important for slavery and/or slavery-like work’s definition.
