Abstract

Physical and sexual violence are common forms of abuse that those impacted by human trafficking face. The growing collection of research reveals that victims of extreme abuse often suffer from serious and long-lasting health consequences. Fractures, gashes, and mutilations, along with persistent discomfort and headaches, dramatic weight loss, and signs of chronic and infectious illnesses, have all been connected to trafficking. Women who have been trafficked or who have been the victims of sexual assault or abuse may have issues related to reproduction and sex. Mental health issues, including such comment stress disorder, melancholy, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, are among trafficking's long-term effects on health.
