Abstract
The White Slave Traffic arose as a new international crime, which developed at the end of the 19th century. This paper explains the configuration of this phenomenon and how it was described by newspapers and public opinion. The aim of this article is to analyze the international struggle against the White Slave Traffic, a battle that began in the late nineteenth century and developed over the next twenty years at an intra-state level and, finally, inherited from the League of Nations. We investigate the developments of this fight against trafficking to the present day, in order to show the elements of continuity with the current international system.
