Abstract
How and under what conditions do states initiate reforms and comply with international agreements to combat human trafficking? This paper focuses on the post-communist states' compliance with anti-trafficking norms. The first finding demonstrates the importance of female members of parliament in promoting states' compliance with anti-trafficking requirements. The second finding reveals the importance of states' international position and aspirations to join exclusive regional organisations for fostering compliance with the UN Anti-Trafficking Protocols.
