Abstract
Anti-human trafficking efforts have been broadly classified as originating from within governmental and non-governmental organizations. This chapter presents a framing overview of these efforts, as well as the known vulnerability risks to trafficking as introductory material. This is followed by the identification and supporting discussion of a set of vulnerability amplifiers that may increase the vulnerability of victims to trafficking. These amplifiers include the presence of social normalization of deviance, a lack of enforcement of labor laws, a remaining lack of recognition regarding labor trafficking, and resulting ramifications. These risk amplifiers form the basis for a set of paths forward principles, offered to guide community development actions to improve prevention and detection of human trafficking.
