Abstract

Human trafficking affects numerous countries worldwide, including South Africa. Given the multiple consequences and human rights violations to victims, trafficking requires a collective multi-disciplinary response involving social workers. This was a qualitative study looking at social service provision to adult victims of human trafficking at shelters in two provinces in South Africa. The findings revealed that a range of services are offered by social workers at shelters and that rights-based intervention approaches must always inform anti-trafficking efforts. © 2019, © 2019 University of the Witwatersrand.
