Specifically, this study aims to identify the common themes and differences observed in the literature on the mental health outcomes of trafficking survivors. Ultimately, this study hopes to contribute to the literature by providing human trafficking researchers and mental health practitioners with the current state of knowledge on the issue and directions for future research. A review of empirical studies from 2012–2022 was conducted. After searching through databases and screening articles, 30 studies were extracted for synthesis. Five coders reviewed the articles and coded survivors’ experiences of mental health issues. The findings from the review highlighted several aspects relating to the mental health experiences of trafficking survivors: 1) the mental health outcomes of human trafficking are complex and extensive, 2) demographic characteristics were found to play a role in the mental health outcomes of trafficking survivors in some but not all diagnoses, and 3) potential risk factors found across multiple studies shed light on what may exacerbate mental health symptomatology and the occurrence of mental health disorders following trafficking.KEYWORDS: Human traffickingmental healthdepressionanxietyPTSD Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Author ContributionStudy conceptualization and design: B.P. and M.L.; Methodology: B.P. and M.L.; Formal analysis and investigation: B.P., A.F, A.M., and M.L; Writing – Original Draft: B.P., A.F, A.M., S.W. and M.L; Wring – Review and Editing: B.P., A.F, A.M., and M.L; Supervision and project administration: M.L.","PeriodicalId":37076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Trafficking","volume":"201 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135372049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research shows that pimps use recruitment techniques of seduction, housing assistance, drugs, and emotional support as well as physical violence, debt bondage, and psychological manipulation to entrap women into commercial sexual exploitation (CSE). This pilot study posits that these seemingly dichotomous methods represent two temporal occurrences; pimps use superficially positive offers to lure young girls and women into a relationship via grooming tactics, then shift the relationship into a sexually exploitive one via recruitment tactics. This study aimed to explore this temporal sequence a two-prong process termed “predatory helpfulness.” Data for this preliminary study examined coercive control tactics, and trauma-coerced attachment in sex trafficking survivors. Participants (N = 19) were all women who had previously been pimp trafficked. Study findings strongly supported the predatory helpfulness model; 18 of the 19 participants felt their initial relationships with their pimps were positive and helpful, and 17 of the 19 participants were able to identify a distinct relational shift between this grooming stage and the recruitment stage, where CSE began. These findings help identify undetected coercive behaviors on the part of the pimp and inform criminal justice interventions and policy. Furthermore, understanding predatory helpfulness will shift the focus to the perpetrators’ behaviors, moving us toward a community that embraces and supports the victims impacted by CSE. A 12 Question Predatory Helpfulness Screener is proposed as a tool for legal actors and providers.KEYWORDS: Sex traffickingpimp recruitmentgroomingcoercive controllove-bombingdrug usephysical forcepredatory tacticstrauma-coerced attachment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 For the purpose of this study, the terms pimp and trafficker are used interchangeably.

This study evaluates a community-based child rights education intervention implemented in Ghana, West Africa, to address the problem. The project contributed to an eight percent increase in school enrollment (which has been associated with a decrease in child labor trafficking in other studies), an equivalence of 706 students in one and half years after implementation. The study contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals five and 16 (promoting gender equality, facilitating human rights advancement and strengthening accountable institutions). It also provides project implementation strategies to support the efforts of anti-trafficking institutions.

This case study examined the experiences of migration and exploitation in a subsample of 27 TGNC individuals from a larger study of 665 high-risk adults in Cape Town, South Africa. The main variables of analysis are derived from a version of the Trafficking Victim Identification Tool, which includes quantitative and qualitative responses. Twenty-six participants (96%) reported at least one potential indicator of exploitation in their lifetime. In the past 12 months, ten participants indicated that someone had withheld payments from them or taken the payment they should have been paid. Half (n=13) of the South African born participants discussed internal migration in their qualitative responses without migration specific prompting. Participants described difficult lives that included childhood abuse, unstable housing, economic marginalization, internal migration, and elements of labor and sexual exploitation – much of which was driven by transphobic and intersectional discrimination and stigma. Our findings shed light on the vulnerability of TGNC individuals and emphasize the need to include TGNC voices in all research and interventions addressing human trafficking.KEYWORDS: Exploitationhuman traffickingmigrationSouth Africatransgender AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by USAID and the South African Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), as a supplement to a USAID Cooperative Agreement #7200AA18CA00009 to Purdue University.

The present study examines the factors that impact the financial wellbeing of survivors of human trafficking in the United States. Using survey data from a sample of trafficking survivors in the U.S. we find that both temporal distance from the exploitative experience and a stable source of income significantly predict financial wellbeing for trafficking survivors. Importantly, however, stable work that provides predictable income mitigates the impact of time in establishing financial wellbeing. The implications of this research are significant for policy and programs aimed at improving the livelihoods of trafficking survivors.KEYWORDS: TraffickingLivelihoodFinancial WellbeingRegression AnalysisParticipatory Action Research AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank individual donors, corporations, and foundations who contribute to Polaris’ unrestricted fund, including partial funding for the National Survivor Study from IHG Hotels & Resorts, Match Group, PayPal, and United Way Worldwide.

Based on qualitative research conducted in Dakar in 2017–2018, this article demonstrates the dynamics behind an uncoordinated and unplanned anti-trafficking intervention. It shows that the contradictions between two different explanations for talibés’ begging led to reward rather than sanctions for those responsible, who are framed variously as child traffickers and as legitimate Qur’anic teachers. It demonstrates the lack of coordination and cooperation among state structures, and between state structures and NGOs, which is then employed by the same actors to explain away the project’s minimal impact. It argues that the project was an example of the Senegalese state trying to adhere to international prescriptions to action to end child trafficking, while avoiding the political wrath of religious leaders domestically. By drawing attention to the distance between global discourse and local implementations, the findings of this article contribute to promoting nuanced policymaking under the Sustainable Development Goal Target 16.2: End abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children.","PeriodicalId":37076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Trafficking","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136342781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
