CALL FOR PAPERS - PAKISTAN JOURNAL FOR WOMEN'S STUDIES
Trafficking of women and girls and their migration to seek waged work has long been an important topic for feminist researchers, theorists, and activists. The number of trafficked and migrant women and girls has been increasing rapidly, especially in the last two decades. This is happening despite our knowledge that trafficking of human beings is a global human rights violation and is a contemporary form of slavery.
This special issue solicits writings that explore the issue of trafficked women and migrant women workers and examine the various related themes with an international and comparative perspective. While our empirical and theoretical focus is on trafficked and migrant women workers’ experience, we also encourage submissions that draw linkages between women and other social and economic identities.
We encourage scholarly works from all
disciplines, including (but not limited to): anthropology, sociology,
psychology, literature, linguistics, women’s studies, history, public health,
public policy, philosophy, art history, business/marketing, information
sciences, political science, communications/media studies, theatre,
international studies, law, and education. Our aim is to reinforce
links that integrate and bring closer researchers and activists in their
endeavour to address the continuation of this inhuman treatment of women in the
twenty first century.
