Researching the nexus between statelessness and human trafficking

This publication presents the results of a two-year research project that aimed to develop and pilot a methodology for exploring the nexus between statelessness and human trafficking. It was a collaborative project in which scholars with expertise on statelessness (Laura van Waas), human trafficking (Conny Rijken), Subjective Legal Empowerment (Martin Gramatikov) and gender studies (Deirdre Brennan) worked side-by-side to design and execute research that cuts across disciplines. We hope that the publication will therefore be of interest to researchers and policy makers in each of these different fields. Included within this publication are two distinct but complementary reports: "A methodology for exploring the interaction between statelessness and human trafficking" (or Methodology Report) and the "The Nexus between Statelessness and Human Trafficking in Thailand" (or Thailand Report).
