Abstract

In the June editorial, the <i>PLoS Medicine</i> Editors highlight the global importance, impact, and health implications of trafficking in persons. This editorial is part of the <i>PLoS Medicine</i> Series on Migration and Health (http://www.ploscollections.org/migrationhealth). The editors argue that despite internationally agreed policies outlining states' responsibilities to protect those affected by trafficking, many countries lack the political will to establish those protections.
