Description

The social work profession is committed to social justice, particularly on behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals. This commitment is enumerated in the profession's Code of Ethics (NASW, 2000) and its educational standards (Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards, 2001). As avowed in the NASW policy statement International Policy on Human Rights (NASW, 2003), "social workers must advocate for the rights of vulnerable people" and work to eliminate practices "that put any person's human rights in grave jeopardy" (pp. 212-213). Given the profession's value stance, it is perhaps surprising that the social work literature has featured little discussion of one of the most prominent contemporary human rights abuses--the modern-day slave trade or human trafficking (Struhsaker Schatz & Furman, 2002). Trafficking entails the trade in human beings who are subsequently exploited for their organs, labor, or other services (United Nations, 2000). Over the course of the past decade, the global trade in human beings has increased significantly. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC] (2005), human trafficking has reached epidemic proportions.
