Work with sexually exploited young people can be rewarding yet difficult. They can be hard to access, often presenting challenging behavior. This book explores the difficulties that arise for researchers and for practitioners when working with sexually exploited young people.

Human trafficking constitutes one of the most serious human rights violations of our time. However, many social work practitioners still have a poor and incomplete understanding of the experiences of children and young people who have been trafficked. In this volume, the authors call for a more sophisticated, informed and better developed understanding of the range of issues facing trafficked young people.
