“…This study allows us to look beyond these standard trafficking troupes and add complexity and nuanced understandings of the variety of pathways into and within trafficking exploitation, which may ultimately inform policy efforts. For example, labor trafficking in domestic work, including for childcare provision is rarely an active focus for anti-trafficking policymakers and funders (Ricard-Guay & Maroukis, 2017). This study defies the dominant narrative and adds nuance to the typologies of exploitation.…”

This study aimed to further understand typologies of trafficking that occur in the home, by an individual’s intimate partner (IP) or family members and this overlap with extant knowledge on perpetrator manipulation via the Power and Control Wheel. Inductive and deductive techniques were used to analyze secondary data from a federally funded anti-trafficking program in a Midwest metropolitan area recorded between 2008 and 2017. Cases were included if there was indication of sex or labor exploitation initiated by an IP, family member, or other in the domestic setting via elements of abuse; 59 cases of 213 met this criteria. Most cases included the IP as the trafficker, followed by family members, then others in the domestic setting. Abuse was more commonly used than the threat of abuse. From the Power and Control Wheel, the most frequent types of abuse were using privilege, physical abuse, economic abuse, isolation, and sexual abuse. Case typologies included: those with elements of sex trafficking, specifically forced commercial sex by an IP or family member; those with elements of labor trafficking such as domestic servitude (with or without childcare provision abuse), exploitation in a family business by an IP or family member, or work environments by family and non-family; those with elements of sex and labor trafficking included servile partnerships and forced marriage. Trafficking exploitation by an IP, family member, or in the domestic setting is not uncommon. Intimate relationships with a trafficker, psychological coercion, and threats may reduce reporting of abuse, subsequent provision of services, and result in misclassification as victims of IP violence. This study sheds light on various typologies of trafficking and exploitation in the domestic setting, further expanding the anti-trafficking movement’s evidence base for intervention and prevention and adding complexity and nuance to the pathways to trafficking exploitation.

“…In general, the absence of legal migration paths for 'low-and medium-skilled' third-country national workers pushes migrant workers towards precarious and informal channels, making their condition of 'irregularity' -in terms of both legal status and employment conditionsan inevitable part of their migratory projects. At the same time, since the issuing of residence permits for work reasons is dependent on the existence of a work contract, migrant workers are put in conditions of vulnerability and exposed to blackmailing and dynamics of exploitation, which can also result in forced labour and trafficking (Corrado et al 2018, Ricard-Guay andMaroukis 2017).…”
