Abstract

This article showcases the lived experiences of Afghan women and girls trafficked into forced marriage in Balochistan province of Pakistan and identifies the processes that lead to their exploitation. Situating forced marriage within the ambit of human trafficking, the study highlights the gendered/aged/classed aspects of the phenomenon and unveils how it is linked to other forms of trafficking. Women and girls trafficked into forced marriage experience multiple forms of exploitation, stigmatization, and social isolation throughout their lives. The study pinpoints that this form of trafficking generally remains outside the radar of anti-trafficking policies which further enhance the vulnerabilities of trafficked victims.

摘要

本文展示了在巴基斯坦俾路支省被贩运到强迫婚姻的阿富汗妇女和女孩的生活经历，并确定了导致她们被剥削的过程。该研究将强迫婚姻置于人口贩运的范围内，强调了这一现象的性别/年龄/分类方面，并揭示了它与其他形式的贩运的关系。被贩运到强迫婚姻中的妇女和女孩在其一生中会经历多种形式的剥削、污名化​​和社会孤立。该研究指出，这种形式的贩运通常不在反贩运政策的雷达范围内，这进一步增加了被贩运受害者的脆弱性。
