The Big Lie: When Europe Enables Human Trafficking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798316671199)

They say slavery ended long ago. They lied.

The Big Lie exposes one of the most disturbing truths of our time: human trafficking is not only thriving in modern Europe, it's enabled by its silence, its bureaucracy, and sometimes, its complicity.

In this daring exposé, Skye MacLir dismantles the myths of progress, freedom and protection by pulling the curtain on a sprawling system of exploitation, indifference, and political hypocrisy.

From the corridors of Brussels to the borders of the Balkans, this book reveals how migration policies, economic interests and media censorship contribute to the expansion of a hidden slave trade, right under our noses.

- Who profits from trafficking in modern Europe?
- How do governments turn a blind eye... or worse?
- Why are the victims so invisible, and the accomplices so powerful?

Hard-hitting, documented, and impossible to ignore, The Big Lie forces us to confront a reality most would rather deny.

A landmark investigation from the Broken Silences collection - Obscyra.
