“…Suffering widespread stigmatisation, their escape from rural conservatism is either through emigration abroad to live with relatives or through migration to the city (see also Davies 2009). The position of married women in the cities has also improved, although not always at the pace they desire, as the following extract reveals.…”

“…La conviction que des criminels organisés abusent de la faiblesse de jeunes femmes naïves pour les déplacer de leur pays d'origine et les contraindre à la prostitution constitue, on le voit, un appui pour des politiques publiques mobilisant les moyens de plusieurs administrations (police, justice, affaires sociales et droits des femmes). Pourtant, nombreux sont les travaux sociologiques, par exemple John Davies (2009), à constater des décalages entre cette structure narrative et les parcours migratoires des étrangères se prostituant en France. D'autres, relevant la rareté des condamnations pénales pour traite des êtres humains, insistent sur les logiques institutionnelles qui conduisent de l'omniprésence discursive de la victime de la traite à sa métamorphose en coupable de franchissement irrégulier de frontières (Jaksic, 2016).…”

La traite des êtres humains, de la légende urbaine à la politique publique

La traite des blanches (requalifiée aujourd’hui en traite des êtres humains) constitue le motif de l’une des légendes urbaines les plus largement diffusées et les mieux étudiées, mettant en scène une jeune fille droguée puis enlevée pour être contrainte à la prostitution dans un pays étranger. Mais la traite est aussi, et de longue date, l’objet de politiques publiques spécifiques, légitimées par des conventions internationales et mises en œuvre par la police et la justice. Cette coexistence d’une légende urbaine et d’une politique publique constitue une énigme, que l’article tente de résoudre : comment imaginer que des moyens considérables soient déployés contre des faits à la réalité aussi incertaine ? Une analyse historique et sociologique révèle que croyances populaires et discours institutionnels se sont mutuellement consolidés, chacun apportant sa contribution spécifique à la plausibilité du motif de la traite.

“…According to some such reports, the number of “trafficking slaves” by 1999 had reached 30,000, which means more than 10 per cent of all Albanian female migrants around that time! 3 Furthermore, “entire villages and towns in Albania” are claimed to have been “robbed” of their young women (Van Hook et al, 2006: 30). While exploitation and violence should be addressed at every stage, care should be taken that women’s experiences, including those outside NGO shelters or police stations, benefit from multidimensional and dispassionate analyses (see for instance Campani, 2000; Mai, 2001; for a more in‐depth analysis see Davies, 2009).…”

International Migration

Since the fall of communism in the early 1990s, Albania has experienced migrations of epic proportions: 17 years later almost one in four Albanians has emigrated and lives abroad, primarily in Greece and Italy. Albanian emigration has by and large represented a typically male-dominated model, whereby men have 'led the way' and women have followed as family members. In spite of Whilst some 'traditional' norms and values persist and are reinforced during migration, change does take place, albeit at a slow and gradual pace. However, for the emancipatory benefits women could accrue through migration to be enhanced, immigration policies need adjusting to address their position as fully autonomous economic and social actors, thus reducing their dependency on male 'bread-winners'. Albanian women's particular migratory experiences, combined with their increasing numbers as migrants, make a compelling case for further attention from researchers and policymakers.
