routinely respond to women’s initial complaints, including their requests to
return home, with sexual, physical and psychological violence. Threats can
include something as subtle – I use the term advisedly – as threatening to
send a woman’s child a pornographic picture of her. As with women deceived
about doing prostitution, this violence aims to teach women that they have no
other option, cannot access help and cannot escape. One of the great skills
of traffickers is their ability to move beyond simple brute force. In this
way, women can be effectively imprisoned with well-applied and strategic physical
violence, that may appear minimal to outsiders,
cemented by devastating psychological violence. Traffickers engage with
women’s psychology. They learn what women value, and work to their strengths
and weaknesses. In this, I suspect we can learn something from them. I am
sure if government agencies spent more time trying to understand how
trafficked women see things, rather than seeing them as problems that don’t
understand how we work, we would have more success in challenging
trafficking. Azeri Trafficking Victims Face Social

prey to human traffickers after she confronted a group who had lured one of
her sisters. Her sister had been
tricked into an unregistered marriage with one of the traffickers, who had
abandoned her when she became pregnant.
“When [my sister] returned, she was afraid to say what had happened to
her. I found those who deceived her, but became their prey as well,” said Esmira. She told IWPR that
when she tackled the traffickers over the treatment of her sister, they
forced her to go to Esmira said she managed
to escape with the help of Turkish police.
“One of the workers knew a police officer. He reported the
traffickers. They came to the place we stayed in wearing plain clothes and
pretending to be customers. The traffickers were arrested right on the spot,”
she said. Slavery Continues in the Form of Forced

Physicians for Human Rights. Her report on the psychological aspects of women
trapped in sexual slavery in "The young
women have been in captivity for a period of weeks to months or years.
Initially there is shock and disbelief. Many young women describe not being
able to believe that they had been sold .... Once
they realize that in fact they are sold, they fight the brothel owner's
demand that they accept customers. Refusal leads to beatings, being locked in
a room, and going without food. This persists until the young woman gives up
and realizes that indeed they are trapped and have no options
.... At some point in this process, the young woman becomes submissive
in order to avoid further beatings and torment; her 'spirit is broken.' She
surrenders, becomes resigned and accommodates to the circumstances of
captivity." Colombian Hailed as Hero in Fight Against

coercion of victims, the following methods were uncovered: O Their documents are kept in order to stop
them from escaping. O They are often raped, kept without food or
water or unable to use the toilet in order to make them more “willing to
cooperate”. O If they come from religious families,
offenders threaten to tell the victims’ parents or relatives, even videotapes
are secretly made for the purpose of blackmail. There are seldom
injuries or beating that could “spoil” the future exploitation of the woman.
Often, women are forced to see over fifty “customers” per day, to the extent
that they lose a sense of time and space and lose consciousness. Recently, a
thirteen-year-old girl managed to get to the police and escape her
imprisonment and torture. She had been brought illegally and forcefully from Trafficked in China, originally from

prevalent, and its distinguishing characteristics were identified, the
attitude changed. Law enforcement agencies began to focus on trafficking as a
serious crime distinct from prostitution offenses, and victims began to be
viewed first and foremost as victims rather than illegal immigrants. As a
consequence, a specific trafficking offense was legislated, law enforcement
authorities began to initiate investigations, victims were encouraged to
testify against traffickers, and courts began to detain traffickers until the
conclusion of the criminal trial against them and to mete out more severe
sentences. Kazak Women Sold as Sex Slaves Gaziza Baituova,
