an article by Farhan Navid Yousaf (International Islamic University, Pakistan) Current Sociology Volume 66 Issue 2 (March 2018)
Abstract
This article situates forced migration amid intersections of burgeoning human insecurities that force increasing numbers of people to leave their homes and become susceptible to exploitation.
Drawing upon data on trafficking in Pakistan, the author argues that marginalized groups often go through multiple migrations that can include episodes of trafficking for sex, labor, or other purposes.
The disjuncture between policies and realities on the ground, and the trend of current interventions do little to address the human security of these migrants.
The article emphasizes that the human security frame provides a more nuanced human rights-based approach to analyze this form of migration and address the root causes and risks associated with the forced displacement of people.

Navigating the difficult: teaching for sustainability, activism, and the recognition of modern slavery
an article by Arlene Plevin (Olympic College, Bremerton, WA, USA) published in Interdisciplinary Environmental Review Volume 18 Number 3/4 (2017)
Abstract
As a goal, sustainability can sometimes be aligned with economic models and seldom considered in terms of all of its components, including modern slavery.
This paper argues that just and flourishing sustainability, that which is for the good of all, incorporates knowledge of modern slavery, the often invisible and unacknowledged abuse of people involved in the production of products and services. The paper encourages teachers to consider the reality of modern slavery and to teach for that, noting that it is an ethical and moral position and essential to just sustainability.
Examining some of the challenges of teaching for modern slavery, the paper works with concepts of activism and hope and offers examples of classroom approaches that can enable students to consider and work with modern slavery on behalf of those who are enslaved.
