We explore the dark and secretive world of human trafficking and human smuggling that goes hand-in-hand with the movement of refugees and migrants. We look at the conceptual and contextual definitions of trafficking and smuggling and the natures of these crimes, how they operate and what policies exist to protect the victims and prosecute those responsible.
