Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 84 rescued / returned trafficked victims spread over 11 mandals of Kadiri revenue division of Anantapuramu district of Andhra Pradesh. A pretested questionnaire was canvassed among the sample to study the socio economic conditions of the trafficked victims, reasons for trafficking, and problems faced by them like torture, physical and sexual abuse and violence. Poverty and social parameters like caste are found to be critical reasons behind trafficking of women for commercial sexual exploitation. Further, violence faced by trafficked victims was found to be severe at the entry point into brothel homeand gradually became less with passage of time. The study also tries to document thenature of violence faced by the victims from the offenders - traffickers, gharwali / brothel owner, clients and sometimes from the rescue team members.
