Human slavery is not a new phenomenon, already appearing in the old testament and continuing over all epochs and centuries in various countries all over the world. However, most people are not aware that it still continues in our days. More exactly, the global community has only recently become aware of its significance. The phenomenon of "modern-day slavery" is termed "human trafficking".
Currently, human trafficking is listed as one of the three most profitable organized crimes, along with the trafficking of weapons and drugs. The problem is a global issue, given the fact that there is no country - developed or developing - that is immune to human trafficking. According to the report of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2012, nearly 21 million people worldwide are exploited in forced labor, including commercial sexual exploitation.

The fundamental idea of the New Haven School of Jurisprudence is to address this growing problem and its effects on public health in terms of prevention and pro- secution of perpetrators as well as in the protection, healing, and reintegration of victims. Furthermore, the school recommends to investigate all the facts of the problem, including the social conflict it represents, before developing a tailor-made solution.
