Retos de la adhesión de Turquía a la Unión Europea. Desafíos 23 I, pp. 217-257. Abstract Women trafficking, as a widespread phenomenon, is a complex topic with mani- fold consequences which have a direct bearing on the way in which the problem of trafficking is understood by regulatory institutions and their proposed solutions. The governmental strategy must respond to this multidimensional phenomenon through state tools to counteract the effects of crime and recognize that women, men, children and adolescents may be indiscriminately vulnerable to this scourge. Nevertheless, we must recognize that, due to cultural facts, women and girls constitute the majority of its victims and specific actions are required for them. Key words: feminist debate, trafficking in women, prostitution, sexual exploi- tation, intimate citizenship.

They are men and women, adults and children. Yet, all are denied basic human dignity and freedom . We must join together as a Nation and global community to provide that safe haven by protecting victims and prosecuting traffickers. With improved victim identification, medical and social services, training for first responders, and increasedpublic awareness, the men, women, and children who have suffered this scourge can overcome the bonds of modern slavery, receive protection and justice, and successfully reclaim their rightful independence. Fightingmodern slavery and human trafficking is a shared responsibility.' A. Human Trafficking: The Numbers "Human trafficking, or 'trafficking in persons,' is an affront to human dignity that links communities across the world in a web of money, exploitation and victimization." 2 It is a multi-dimensional issue that "violates human rights, endangers economic growth, thrives on corruption, and poses a real threat to the well-being and human development of men, women, and children, be it committed across or within national borders."3 * J.D. Candidate, 2014, Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law; B.A., 2007, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. I would like to thank Professor Catherine A.
