Using Malaysia as a case study, this NTS Alert discusses how overreliance on the US TIP Reports has led certain states to focus their national policies on prosecuting traffickers. Without a more balanced approach, trafficked persons remain inadequately protected. The experiences of local communities in Malaysia can be tapped upon to inform more holistic antihuman trafficking policies; they currently collaborate with the nongovernment sector to assist with these protection needs. However, the nongovernment sector experiences restrictions in influencing policy changes. Thus, it is suggested that a rebalancing of the US Department of State’s skewed focus on prosecuting traffickers is needed to promote internal policy changes in Malaysia.
