This document summarizes the results of a human trafficking awareness survey conducted in South Africa. Key findings include:
- While most respondents correctly identified South Africa as a source, transit, and destination country for trafficking, many believed it is mainly a transit country.
- Respondents were unaware that most trafficking victims in South Africa are South African citizens.
- They believed trafficking was more likely for rituals/organ removal rather than forced labor.
The survey highlights gaps in public understanding of who is vulnerable to trafficking and what forms it takes. It also includes personal stories from students to educate others about the realities of human trafficking.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING

This document provides an overview of human trafficking:
- It defines human trafficking as a form of modern slavery where people are exploited for sex or labor through force, fraud or coercion.
- Victims number in the millions worldwide each year, including over 500,000 trafficked across borders, more than half of whom are children.
- Trafficking generates billions of dollars annually for organized crime networks and has widespread social and psychological impacts on victims.
- Several groups are working to advocate for policies, educate the public, and provide services to victims, but human trafficking remains a persistent global problem.
Human trafficking involves illegally transporting people within or across borders against their will for forced labor or sexual exploitation. It can take various forms, such as forced marriage, organ removal, or commercial sexual acts. Victims are often coerced and held against their will, forced to work or provide services for little to no pay under highly exploitative conditions with their freedom restricted. Warning signs someone may be a victim include withdrawn behavior, signs of abuse or malnourishment, and lack of control over ID or money. Reducing human trafficking involves educating oneself, reaching out to potential victims, listening without judgment, suggesting safety plans, and contacting authorities if the person is in danger.
The document discusses human trafficking in Eastern Europe. It notes that hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked each year, many into forced labor or sex work. Political and social factors like corruption, poverty, and lack of education enable trafficking. Stricter laws are proposed as the best solution to curb trafficking and protect victims, though enacting such laws could prove difficult in Eastern European countries.
The document discusses human trafficking, including its definition, causes, victims, and impacts. It notes that over one million people are trafficked annually, mostly women and children exploited through forced labor or the sex trade. Trafficking involves recruitment through deception and transportation of victims to exploit them. Poverty, lack of opportunities, and demand for cheap labor or sexual services are among the key drivers. Victims experience physical and psychological abuse and health risks. Effective responses require identifying victims, providing services for recovery, safe and voluntary return, and long-term reintegration support.

Human trafficking involves exploiting people through force, fraud or coercion for forced labor, domestic servitude, or commercial sex. It has existed for thousands of years in various forms. People are commonly trafficked due to unemployment, poverty, discrimination or false promises of employment. Victims face physical and psychological harm as well as loss of freedom. Efforts to prevent human trafficking include increasing awareness, praying for victims and pursuing justice, getting involved with anti-trafficking organizations, and educating others.
This document summarizes a report on human trafficking in India that evaluates intervention efforts and provides recommendations. Some key points:
- India has widespread issues with sex and labor trafficking, with half of its districts affected and millions of victims.
- The report analyzes trafficking patterns and interventions across 9 states representing 40% of India's population. It finds government efforts are still developing but emphasize prevention, protection, and prosecution.
- NGOs focus more on prevention and protection in source/transit states, and protection, prosecution, and capacity building in destination states. Collaboration between organizations and with government is improving but still a challenge.
- The report's recommendations include economic cooperatives to aid victim protection, engaging vulnerable

It is based on my research paper on prostitution and its legalization.
Domestic violence occurs in all societies and affects people from all backgrounds. It can take many forms including physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and economic abuse. Laws have been enacted to help protect victims, especially women who represent the majority of victims. However, domestic violence often goes unreported due to social stigmas. Raising awareness and providing support to all victims is important to address this issue.
Sexual violence and exploitation is a widespread global issue. Over 1 million children enter the sex trade every year and 30 million have lost their childhood to sexual exploitation in the past 30 years. An estimated 600,000-800,000 people, mostly women and children, are trafficked across borders annually. Rape, war rape, comfort women, prostitution, sexual assault, abuse, and female genital mutilation negatively impact millions of victims annually. Resources are available to help victims of sexual abuse and assault.
This document examines violence against women in situations of human trafficking in Southeast Asia. It provides an overview of human trafficking in the region, noting that women and girls account for the majority of trafficking victims globally and in Southeast Asia. The document analyzes how violence against women, including domestic violence, lack of economic opportunities, and gender discrimination, contributes to making women and girls vulnerable to human trafficking. It also discusses how trafficked women face violence both in their home countries and in destination countries in Southeast Asia. The document reviews international laws against trafficking and violence against women and analyzes gaps in how countries in Southeast Asia have implemented anti-trafficking laws and policies.
This document provides information about sex work and sex trafficking. It defines a sex worker as anyone working in the sex industry, including prostitutes, strippers, escorts, etc. It notes that sex work is not always by choice and discusses statistics on human trafficking globally and in the US. It outlines common methods used to lure victims into trafficking and physical and psychological complications resulting from trafficking. It discusses debates around definitions of trafficking and consent. It also gives examples of sex trafficking patterns observed in Northeast US cities like Boston, Providence and elsewhere, highlighting that this issue exists even in suburban and rural areas, and provides local case examples and reviews from sex buying websites.
Women in India face violence throughout their lives from womb to tomb. They are considered inferior to men economically, socially, educationally and politically. Women rarely report violence due to social stigma and lack of support. Reasons for violence against women include low sex ratios leading to issues like rape and trafficking, as well as discrimination against girls through practices like female foeticide and denial of resources. Women face abuse, harassment and exploitation at various stages of life from childhood through adulthood and old age. Strict legal actions and social reforms are needed to protect and empower women in India.
Should prostitution be made legal in india or not?Kashyap Shah
The document discusses whether prostitution should be legalized in India. Currently, prostitution is illegal but widespread. There are around 3 million sex workers in India, many of whom entered the profession due to lack of opportunities. Legalizing prostitution could generate tax revenue and help regulate the industry to reduce health and safety issues like HIV transmission. However, others argue that legalizing it would promote gender inequality and unintended social consequences. While difficult to completely curb prostitution, there is a need for laws and policies to better regulate the industry in India.
Prostitutes are always neglected is our Society. The profession of prostitution is allowed privately in India but law tries to hide it from public. As prostitutes are ignored, now there are facing various human rights violation. Now, time has come to either totally neglect prostitutes or make genuine efforts to give them respect and make sensible measure to incorporate them into society. The middle path which we have adopted for now is not working for betterment of prostitutes as h human being.
This document discusses violence against women in India. It outlines several socioeconomic, cultural, and religious factors that contribute to increased violence, including a male-dominated society, poverty, cultural ideologies, and the devaluation of women's moral character. The document also provides preventative measures that could help control violence, such as improving the response of women's police stations. In conclusion, it states that violence against women is endemic in India due to factors like poverty, lack of education, and societal mindsets about women. Both government and nonprofit efforts are made to address the issue, but implementation remains challenging.

Human trafficking involves exploiting people through force, fraud or coercion for sex acts or labor against their will. It takes various forms like sex trafficking through prostitution, exotic dancing or mail-order brides, and forced labor in industries like farming, factories or domestic work. India's West Bengal and Rajasthan states recorded the highest numbers of reported trafficking victims in 2016, with victims often suffering diseases, malnutrition and mental health issues as a result of being trafficked. Combating trafficking requires prevention, protection and prosecution efforts through laws and addressing underlying issues.
Thousands of women and children are trafficked every day. Within the overall profile of trafficking in South Asia, India is a country of both transit and destination. There is a considerable degree of internal trafficking as well as some trafficking from India to Gulf States and to South East Asia. Sale of children and their movement across the state borders takes place within the country too. In other words, while there is movement of children through procurement and sale from one country to another, with India being both a supplier as well as a “consumer”, there is internal “movement” of children within the country itself - one town to another, one district to another and one state to another. It is undertaken in an organised manner, by organised syndicates or by individuals, and sometimes informal groups. Relatives and parents are part of this as well.

Child trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of children for the purpose of exploitation. This includes forcing children into prostitution, labor, slavery or organ removal. In 2006, there were only 5,808 prosecutions and 3,160 convictions for human trafficking worldwide, showing that very few traffickers are held accountable. Victims are often children who are manipulated or tricked into believing they will have better lives, but instead are sexually or economically exploited and abused.
Political stewardship maid abuses, political will is needed for lawful prot...Thesigan Nadarajan
1) Maids are often seen merely as domestic workers but should be considered the national human resources of their home countries. Seeing maids this way leads to widespread abuses in both sending and receiving countries.
2) Maid abuse cases are prevalent globally and take many horrific forms, including physical, sexual and psychological torture and even murder. There is no justification for these abuses.
3) Resolving maid abuses requires political will and action from sending countries. Sending countries must establish comprehensive protection policies, support networks, and bilateral agreements to defend their citizens working abroad. Political expediency should not come before citizens' welfare.
This document outlines perspectives on eliminating violence against women and children from various groups. It declares November 25 of every year as National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children through Republic Act 10398. Presidential Proclamation 1172 extended the National Campaign to 18 days to include December 12, recognizing human trafficking as a form of violence against women. The document presents perspectives from women, men, government agencies, local governments, the private sector, academia, and training institutions on advocating against and preventing violence against women and children.
This document summarizes research on sex differences in the nematode C. elegans. It finds that males and hermaphrodites exhibit distinct olfactory preferences, with males showing reduced responses to some odorants. This sexual dimorphism in olfaction arises from cell-intrinsic differences in the core nervous system and precedes the development of sex-specific neurons. The terminal sex determination gene tra-1 controls these differences, suggesting neural circuitry itself regulates sexually distinct olfactory behaviors independent of hormones or gonads in C. elegans.

Report on Sex Education for Children
Research time: November 2013
Based on Nusaresearch’s panelist
Research information
Research method: Quantitative research (Online Survey)
Timing: November 2013
Sample size: 183
This document discusses sexual health education in the UK. It begins by outlining why sexual health is an important issue due to risks of STIs and unintended pregnancy. It then reviews existing sexual health resources in the UK, including sex education in schools, websites, television programs and ads, magazines, and clinics. It discusses debates around these resources and not teaching abstinence. It also links sexual health behaviors to health behavior models and factors influencing condom use. In closing, it suggests recommendations for educationalists, such as making sex education compulsory and improving parent-school collaboration.
Sex education should be taught in schools to provide students with important knowledge about human development, relationships, and protection from abuse and disease. While some argue it is inappropriate, others believe that if done correctly and at an age-appropriate level, sex education can help prepare students for the realities of life by discussing topics like puberty, relationships, and reproductive health. Both schools and parents have a responsibility to educate youth on these essential topics.
Sexuality education - how to talk to your children about sexDr Aniruddha Malpani
The document discusses how parents can talk to their children about sexuality and sex education. It notes that sexuality education should begin at a young age through open communication. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of teachable moments and askable questions to have honest discussions about sexuality in an age-appropriate manner. Common questions from children at different ages are provided, along with tips for discussing puberty, relationships, and other topics with tweens and teens. The overall message is that parents should feel comfortable communicating factually with children to promote healthy attitudes about sexuality.
The document discusses the importance of conversations in developing relationships. It notes that while some advocate "selling the sizzle not the steak", engaging in meaningful conversations where common ground is found is better. The results of interviews with people on their dating experiences and favorite companies suggest that conversations matter because that's how relationships are formed. People are more inclined to connect with companies or products that fit their personality or lifestyle.
Powerpoint presentation M.A. Thesis DefenceCatie Chase
This document summarizes a research study that examined self-determination in post-secondary students with learning disabilities based on whether they were identified as having an LD in primary/secondary school or as an adult. The study found no statistically significant differences in self-determination, as measured by a self-determination scale, between the two groups of students. The discussion considers limitations of the study related to measurement, sample size, and sampling biases. Implications are discussed for further examining the relationship between time of LD identification and self-determination with more reliable measures and larger sample sizes.
Co-education affects students' academic performance. The document discusses the origins and adoption of co-education in various countries including Pakistan. It outlines the research objectives to understand students' perceptions of co-education's effects on lifestyle and academic performance. A survey of 70 students at a university in Lahore assessed views on topics like healthy competition, confidence, and satisfaction with co-education. Analysis found most students believe co-education promotes confidence and is an appropriate system when a proper study atmosphere exists.

It finds that over 1 million people work in DoD's six core business processes, costing $670 billion from FY2016-2020. The briefing recommends modernizing processes and IT systems, adopting industry best practices, and achieving annual productivity gains of 4-8% through early retirements, reducing contractor services, and other measures to save over $125 billion in the next five years.
The document summarizes research being conducted on incorporating pile setup into pile design using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). The research aims to identify conditions where pile setup may be used, determine the reliability of pile setup prediction methods, and establish resistance factors. Field data on pile setup is presented from a bridge project in Louisiana. Methods for predicting pile setup are described, including empirical equations and static capacity methods using Cone Penetration Test data. Software tools for pile capacity analysis incorporating pile setup are identified.
This study demonstrated a novel natural transformation mechanism in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) that is independent of uptake signal sequences and the Tfox gene. The study showed that A.a. could be transformed with genomic and plasmid DNA present in microvesicles secreted into the growth medium of donor cells. This transformation occurred both in the presence and absence of components normally required for natural transformation in A.a. The results suggest outer membrane adhesion and fusion of donor microvesicles with recipient cells allows DNA delivery and homologous recombination. This novel mechanism could provide an easier method for genetically transforming A.a. compared to conventional techniques.
Beyond Economics: Women Negotiating Trauma, Violence, and Assimilation as Ref...Jmichebradshaw
South Africa has been a leading country in ratifying laws and policies to address the unique experience a female refugee has in comparison to males. However, despite South African refugee regimes’ efforts to increase awareness, bring gender equality within its refugee laws, and provide resources to the female refugee population there are still components to a female refugee’s experience in assimilating to their new country that need greater attention. This paper addresses the lack of emotional and psychological support given to female refugees. Through the combination of ethnographic research conducted at one of major refugee regimes in South Africa, the Cape Town Refugee Center, and in depth interviews with female refugees, the idea that a refugee regime such as the CTRC is providing a comprehensive approach to aiding the refugee population was directly challenged. In this work five women who embody and represent the experience of many female refugees in South Africa, tell their story about what life has been like navigating their past and current emotional and psychological traumas as a female refugee trying to integrate into their society. In this work another facet in helping an extremely vulnerable population—female refugees—is being introduced as a means to ensure a more successful integration. If this can be done than these women are capable of becoming an asset to their new communities versus a burden to the economy and society of their host country. In a world that continues to have increased instability and an ever-growing refugee population the issue of how to properly and successfully absorb refugees is key to any country’s success. In this work the research addresses the great importance of refugee regimes allocation more resources to helping women refugees work through the immense amount of physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional traumas that they have endured.
Joseph Osuigwe Chidiebere is an anti-human trafficking advocate from Nigeria who established Devatop Centre for Africa Development. He discusses the significance of marking Anti-Human Trafficking Day in raising awareness of modern slavery. He notes that human trafficking is prevalent in Nigeria due to factors like poverty, unemployment, and porous borders. While the Nigerian government agency NAPTIP works to curb trafficking, more funding and support is still needed from both public and private sectors to adequately address this issue. Chidiebere also highlights the upcoming Academy for Prevention of Human Trafficking which will train young advocates to combat trafficking in their communities.

Human trafficking is an egregious violation of
human rights. It is the ultimate manifestation of
many of the systemic socio-economic, cultural,
political and structural problems which continue
to entrench exclusion, inequality, discrimination
and exploitation across the globe.
LexisNexis believes that sustainable social,
political and economic progress can only exist
in societies where the Rule of Law exists. This is
why, as a company, we are globally committed
to the Rule of Law principle and will continue to
work throughout the world to help consolidate
and update the laws of all countries.
This document discusses modern slavery and human trafficking around the world. It states that millions of people are living in bondage, forced to work in brutal conditions under threat of violence. They may be forced into labor, begging, or prostitution. Human trafficking is a crime that exploits victims for financial gain. It is a problem that affects every country. The document then provides statistics on trafficking victims and profits as well as information on government anti-trafficking efforts in India.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is still practiced in parts of Tanzania. Activists there are using maps and mapping to help protect girls at risk. Volunteers in rural Tanzania have been trained to map local areas, places like safe houses, on an offline smartphone app. These improved maps are helping activists locate girls to prevent FGM, and have coincided with a 75% reduction in FGM deaths. The mapping work is also identifying missing places and helping activists and police respond faster to protect girls.
Human trafficking specifically focusing on sex trafficking in Australia. A research base presentation conducted in November 2010 to highlight the issues and raise limitations. Provide useful resources, reference and how to's.
Human trafficking is a complex issue involving the exploitation of millions of people worldwide for financial gain through forced labor and sexual exploitation. It has grown substantially since the 1980s as an illegal business generating billions in profits for criminal organizations. While both men and women can be victims of trafficking, women and children are most commonly exploited through practices like forced prostitution, domestic servitude, and forced child labor. Poverty, lack of opportunities, gender inequality, and demand for cheap labor and sex are key drivers of the trafficking industry. Many countries have enacted laws against trafficking but enforcement remains a challenge due to the transnational and underground nature of the crime.
This document examines irregular migration among vulnerable youth in urban Nigeria. It explores the perceptions of youth and experiences of returnee migrants who left through irregular means. Focus group discussions and interviews found that youth viewed irregular migration as a survival strategy, despite the risks. Motivations included economic hardship and perceptions of better opportunities abroad. However, returnees reported exploitative work, dangers of travel, and trafficking. The document calls for policies to provide welfare, skills training, and educate youth on legal migration to address this challenge.

This document discusses the issue of sex slavery and proposes ways to reduce it. It notes that over 2,800 women are trafficked every day and that police identified over 3,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK in 2015, a significant increase from 2011. The document suggests actions for governments, communities, and individuals to take, such as enforcing stronger laws, raising awareness through education and community groups, and providing support for trafficking survivors. It aims to make sex slavery a permanent priority issue until the problem can be resolved.
The document summarizes a fundraising run that benefits Women for Women International's programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization supports women in war-torn regions like the DRC with job training, education, counseling, and small business assistance to help them rebuild their lives. It discusses the severe hardships women face in the DRC, where rape is used as a weapon of war, and over 5.4 million people have died since 1998. The run aims to help Women for Women International continue providing financial support, skills training, and trauma counseling to women survivors of conflict in the DRC.
Gender and Human Trafficking (for Department staff)Yoshiko Ogawa
This document discusses gender and human trafficking in Vietnam. It begins by defining gender as socially constructed differences between men and women, as opposed to sex which refers to biological differences. It then provides statistics on gender equality in Vietnam which show high levels of women's participation in the labor market but also issues like a skewed sex ratio. The document examines three cases to illustrate what constitutes human trafficking under Vietnamese law. It notes that while women are most often victims, men and children can also be trafficked. The challenges victims face often differ based on their gender. Finally, it concludes that addressing the root causes and needs of human trafficking victims requires considering the different impacts of gender roles and relationships on men, women, boys, and girls.
This document discusses the issue of sex slavery and human trafficking. It notes that over 2,880 women are trafficked every day, yet this issue often fails to receive sustained attention. The document proposes several actions that different groups can take to help reduce sex slavery, such as governments enforcing stronger laws, communities raising awareness, and providing support for trafficking survivors. It aims to make sex slavery a permanent priority until the issue can be resolved.
Human trafficking is a $5-9 billion industry that exploits 27 million victims globally each year. It is the third largest criminal industry after drug and weapons trafficking. Victims are used for forced labor or commercial sex acts, with women and children comprising most. While a global problem, over 17,500 people are trafficked into the United States annually. Efforts to curb it have had little impact as convictions remain low compared to the number of victims. Increased awareness of the signs and impacts of human trafficking are needed to reduce consumer demand and stop the industry.
This document summarizes health challenges and inequities faced by residents living along the Abidjan to Lagos transport corridor in West Africa. It notes that while cities in the corridor are growing rapidly, this growth has outpaced development of health systems. As a result, urban poor residents face barriers to accessing health services and outcomes. Key issues discussed include a lack of services in informal settlements, high use of unregulated private providers, and health inequities between urban and rural/wealthy residents such as inequitable access to antenatal care and immunizations. The document calls for coordinated regional support to improve health equity and harness opportunities of urbanization.
This document discusses domestic minor sex trafficking in the United States. It begins with the story of Alexa, who was sexually abused as a child and later trafficked by multiple men who sold her for sex. It defines human trafficking and domestic minor sex trafficking, providing statistics estimating that thousands of minors become trafficking victims in the U.S. each year. It outlines common recruitment tactics used by traffickers, such as gaining a minor's trust before subjecting them to physical and psychological abuse. It also discusses risk factors for trafficking and signs that someone may be a victim. It describes the work of an Ohio organization called Gracehaven that supports trafficking survivors and works to prevent trafficking through education.
Human Trafficking Presentation for Peace Corps IST April 2016Colin Lawrence
This document provides an overview of human trafficking as a transnational phenomenon. It defines human trafficking as involving the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons through force, coercion or deception for the purpose of exploitation. The document notes that over 20 million people globally are victims of forced labor in various sectors such as domestic work, agriculture and manufacturing. In the Philippines specifically, trafficking victims are often women and children from rural areas who are exploited in sex trafficking or fraudulent labor schemes internationally or domestically. The government and NGOs have implemented various anti-trafficking laws, shelters and awareness programs, but more efforts are still needed to address this serious issue.

about the study
• The study was conducted in the second quarter of 2014. As part of
their applied project, second year students from the Department of
Strategic Communication had to collect quantitative data on the
levels of awareness of Trafficking in Persons in South Africa.
• Most of the data was collected in the Gauteng province amongst a
predominantly young sample (87.8% were between 12 –35 years).
The vast majority grew up in the city (46%) versus 16.4% in a rural
area.
• A sample of 993 was drawn from projects that demonstrated
excellence. An important part of any preventative strategy is to
engage in research to evaluate pre and post campaign awareness
levels.

13. Eight months after I had given birth to my third child, my mother in-law, whom we had
been living with told me she could no longer feed all us and suggested she had found
employment for me in Gauteng. We lived in rural Lesotho, and the idea of working in the
"city of Gold" seemed ideal. I was promised free transportation back home every three
months to see my children and my husband. I arrived in Pretoria and worked all day and
late night. The house was like nothing I've ever seen before. The many large rooms,
endless stairs and the unruly children I had to take care of, made conditions unbearable,
because I knew I was here for my children, I held on.
Month end came and I expected the promised R3 000, instead my boss told me she had
already payed the money to my mother in law and gave me R200 instead to buy my own
food as she would no longer feed me. I had no cell phone to contact my mother in law and
could not afford to go back home. I thought I should remain patient, as I would be taken
home after three months, however as the third month came to an end, I was told the trip
was postponed until the July school holidays. The trip never occurred and I had to escape
without a single clue as to where I was going.

19. I’m an 18- year old girl from rural Kwa-
Zulu Natal. When my grandmother died
there was no money for food or anyone
to look after me or my siblings. At 12-
years old I went into town looking for a
job. I met a man who said he knew of
jobs for me in Johannesburg. He gave
me a lift to Johannesburg but took my
clothes and ID and I was forced to take
drugs and have sex with men who paid
the man and his friends that brought
me there. There were girls from all
over SA in the house with us. Once I
was hooked on drugs, I was allowed out
of the house.

26. My name is Kaone Baitsile, I grew up in Ngwaketse West (Botswana), in a village called Kutuku. Kutuku is
one of the poorest places in Botswana, it is a place where nothing ever grows, an infertile land. As a young
girl I helped bring food to the table by braiding people in the village but I have always dreamt of a place far
greater than this, a place with limitless opportunities. When I turned 18 years old, a friend of mine told me
she could get me a well-paid job in Johannesburg as a waitress and I could train to become a professional
hairdresser. She introduced me to an agent who kindly paid for my passport and travelling costs to South
Africa.
When I arrived I met with Ibu, whom I was told by the agent would help me settle in the city of gold. He took
my passport and brought me to a place where two other foreign women lived in the house. Shortly I
discovered that my job was to provide sexual services for men on a daily basis. Some nights, when my soul
would ache from all the abuse and I objected, Ibu would beat me up, rape me and then lock me in a dark
room for hours to “think things through”. Ibu warned me that I was an illegal immigrant and that he had my
passport. He also reminded me that I owe him R15 000 for my travel costs and said that my family would
suffer if I didn’t earn that money back. Some of Ibu’s clients demanded unprotected sex, others associated
sex with violence and at times I was beaten to a pulp. I’ve been feeling myself sliding into a state of severe
depression, life is not worth living anymore. I feel trapped and tied down. I am imprisoned by agony and
endless fear, constantly praying for a way out, even if that way out is death…

27. For the IOM photo shoot I portrayed
the image of a girl forced into being a
prostitute. I did not know that they are
tortured, drugged and even put inside
car boots as they are belittled and
made to feel like commodities. That day
changed me. I feel that we have an
obligation … help others equip
themselves with as much knowledge
about this brutality so that instead of
simply acknowledging and moving on,
one will take the time to be vigilant and
report. This simple act could save a life.
