本文评估了两次世界大战期间打击贩运妇女和儿童的运动，特别侧重于英国和英国主导的志愿协会所发挥的主导作用。这场人道主义运动是由道德和社会卫生协会（AMSH）和禁止贩卖妇女和儿童国际局（IBSTWC）等社会救济组织开展的。虽然有组织地反对贩运人口并不新鲜，但这些团体在1920年代和1930年代有意识地将其宣传和游说工作“国际化”。虽然他们在海峡殖民地打击人口贩卖或在地中海活动的卖淫团伙的工作，部分是出于保护英国国家威望的愿望，但他们的道德动力和与非英国机构的合作反映了更广泛的国际关注。本文还探讨了公共外交作为一种新的政治工具的使用，特别关注国际联盟打击贸易工作中明显的公私合作。最后，文章提出了一些结论，为什么英国妇女的政治组织，特别是一些最早的“国际主义者”，如何成功的国际主义者在打击跨国社会问题，以及在何种程度上建立了一个先例，战后国际社会救济组织的后续增长。
This article assesses the inter-war campaign against trafficking in women and children, with a particular focus on the leading role played by British and British-dominated voluntary associations. This humanitarian campaign was conducted by social relief organizations such as the Association for Moral and Social Hygiene (AMSH) and the International Bureau for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children (IBSTWC). While organized opposition to trafficking in persons was not new, these groups consciously 'internationalized' their advocacy and lobbying efforts in the 1920s and 1930s. Although their work against trafficking in the Straits Settlements, or the prostitution rings operating in the Mediterranean, was driven in part by the desire to protect Britain's national prestige, their moral impetus and their cooperation with non-British bodies reflected wider international concerns. The article also explores the use of public diplomacy as a new political tool, with a particular focus on the public-private cooperation evident in the League of Nations' work to combat the trade. Finally, the article advances some conclusions as to why British women's political organizations in particular were some of the earliest 'internationalists', how successful internationalists were in combating transnational social problems, and to what extent inter-war internationalists established a precedent for the subsequent growth of international social relief organizations.
