This article examines the progressive expansion of the Italian anti-trafficking system into the field of labour exploitation, with particular reference to the agricultural sector. Drawing on multi-year research conducted in Southern Italy between 2016 and 2026, the article explores shifts in policy and intervention approaches, as well as the limitations, ambiguities, and challenges associated with the implementation of protection and social inclusion measures, with particular attention to gender and intersectional dimensions. The analysis examines the tension between legal-administrative categories and the diverse forms of exploitation, showing how such interventions tend to result in temporary forms of protection and partial and precarious pathways to social inclusion. Against this backdrop, territorial disparities, the uneven and fragmented use of legal instruments, and the crisis of the traditional category of the «victim» emerge as key issues, pointing to the need for a more fundamental rethinking of interventions aimed at preventing and combating labour exploitation, which remain predominantly shaped by repressive and emergency-driven approaches rather than by a systemic understanding of the phenomenon.
Keywords: trafficking; labour exploitation; intersectional vulnerability; agricultural labor; social inclusion.
