Investigative reporters use a wide variety of skills to cover human trafficking. Sensitive interviewing of victims emerges as vital; a number of useful guides exist on interviewing vulnerable subjects.
Researchers estimate 40 million people exist in some form of slavery today, ranging from debt bondage and false contracts to sex trafficking, forced marriage and child labor. To help journalists cover human trafficking and slavery, GIJN has created this collection of resources including documents and reports, places to find expertise and advice on best practices in reporting and investigation.
