Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of key findings from human trafficking studies published between 2010 and 2022. It presents recent research trends and interventions on human trafficking. The purpose of this study was to bridge the research-to-policy gap by identifying priority areas for research and creating an innovative platform, the Human Trafficking Evidence Gap Map (EGM). Through consultations and thematic coding, the most and least commonly studied factors and outcomes related to human trafficking were identified. The study reveals geographical variations in counter-trafficking programs and policies. The paper contributes to developing the Human Trafficking EGM as a tool to facilitate evidence-informed decision-making and supports progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals 5, 8 and 10 by enhancing the understanding of trafficking factors and outcomes. The findings empower researchers and policymakers to develop targeted interventions, strengthen legal frameworks, and foster international cooperation. Ultimately, these efforts will advance the efforts to eradicate human trafficking and promote a more just and equitable society.
