Le statut de la victime dans la lutte contre la traite des femmes
Mathilde Darley
Although trafficking in human beings has appeared regularly on the agenda of Western governments, European institutions and
international organizations since the beginning of the 90s, research devoted
to this issue remains scarce. This article intends to remedy the relative disaffection of political sociology for trafficking issues by showing how they have
become a European and international policy issue over the past ten years.
Analyzing influences of the discursive dialectic between security and humanitarian approaches leads to posit a marginalization of the victim in European
and international beliefs and practices. To what extent can a common policy
against human trafficking be devised to counterbalance the competition of
interests and a lacking sociology of the victim by conferring on the EU the
role of mediator and catalyst ?
