Abstract

This work explores Dutch governmental and non-governmental efforts to protect persons trafficked into the Netherlands for the purposes of forced labor. By focusing on multi-professional efforts to assist trafficked persons, this analysis discusses protective agents' roles as gatekeepers, interpreters and knowledge brokers in identifying trafficked persons and in managing their experience after the temporal moment of 'rescue' has come to pass. This work further investigates the concept of carceral protectionism and maps how Dutch protective interventions have impacted trafficked and potentially trafficked persons. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
