Written on 16 March 2005.

GAATW was part of a multi-country pilot study by Bridget Anderson and Julia O' Connell Davidson. This paper reports some of the findings on the demand side of two sectors in which it is known that the labour/services of trafficked persons are sometimes exploited: prostitution and domestic work.

The research design was set out to explore the “demand-side of trafficking” into sex and domestic work. The study involved semi-structured interviews with employers of domestic worker and clients of sex workers.
