Abstract: This study analyzes how the academic literature reflects and engages with the fight against human trafficking (HT) in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It adopts a two-pronged approach: examining how specialized literature addresses the UN’s role in HT, and exploring the contribution of the SDGs. A bibliometric analysis using Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny was conducted on Web of Science articles. Results show research is concentrated in Western countries, revealing a need to boost capacity in affected regions. The thematic analysis highlights the relevance of governance, institutional frameworks and international cooperation.
