ABSTRACT

This study aims to access the experience of the victims of human trafficking, during recruitment, exploitation, and identification phases. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview, resulting in a clinical-forensic sample of nine adult victims of both sexes – two females and seven males, aged between 42 and 67 years (M = 56.67; SD = 8.411). Data analysis was done using thematic analysis and allowed to reinforce the dynamics of trafficking in human beings, concerning victims and traffickers (e.g., the deception in the recruitment phase) and dynamics of exploitation (e.g., entrapment strategies). This study was able to provide novelty concerning the hetero identification of the victims by community members. Despite the control strategies employed by the traffickers, some victims were identified and reported by neighbors to competent authorities. This should be considered as it may be indicative that educational campaigns are having an effect by enhancing the victims’ identification.

摘要

本研究旨在了解人口贩运受害者在招募、剥削和身份识别阶段的经历。数据是通过半结构化访谈收集的，产生了九名成年男女受害者的临床法医样本——两名女性和七名男性，年龄在 42 至 67 岁之间（M = 56.67；SD = 8.411）。使用专题分析进行数据分析，并允许加强与受害者和贩运者有关的人口贩运动态（例如，招募阶段的欺骗）和剥削动态（例如诱捕策略）。这项研究能够为社区成员对受害者的异性身份识别提供新颖性。尽管贩运者采用了控制策略，一些受害者被邻居确认并向主管当局报告。应该考虑到这一点，因为这可能表明教育活动正在通过提高受害者的身份识别产生影响。
