Call for Papers
Welcome to the Centre for Trafficking, Exploitation and Modern Slavery Studies (TEAMS).
We facilitate inter-professional, cross-agency and academic research and teaching to further the international  efforts of eradicating modern slavery and trafficking in human beings and realizing gender equality and empowerment. If history has demonstrated anything, it is that slavery was never eradicated, but merely changed its format. Changes to the law alone cannot effectively tackle Modern Slavery, Trafficking and Exploitation, which continue to be found across every society, and thus, require a holistic approach in order to address the associated complexities.

Our Vision & Mission

A world in which the fundamental human rights of all people are respected with dignity and worth, and in which no human being is used as a commodity or product.
Our mission is to create and share knowledge of and solutions for tackling Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery globally, while promoting justice, dignity, and well-being for all.
