“Sex Slaves” and Shrewd Business Women: The Role of Victim Consent in Trafficking in Persons in Australia

Veröffentlichungen: Beitrag in FachzeitschriftArtikelPeer Reviewed

Abstract

This article explores and analyses the judicial treatment of victim consent in cases of
trafficking in persons in Australia. Using available case law, this article examines how
victim consent has been dealt with in the prosecution and sentencing of trafficking
offenders, and how discussions of consent have, in certain cases, been used to undermine the credibility of victims in the trial process. This article reflects on the conceptual and practical significance of consent in trafficking in persons prosecutions in Australia and develops recommendations to overcome common stereotypes and protect the rights of trafficked persons.
