Human Trafficking and Health: A Survey of Male and Female Survivors in England.
American Journal of Public Health 2016 June
OBJECTIVES: To investigate physical and mental health and experiences of violence among male and female trafficking survivors in a high-income country.
METHODS: Our data were derived from a cross-sectional survey of 150 men and women in England who were in contact with posttrafficking support services. Interviews took place over 18 months, from June 2013 to December 2014.
RESULTS: Participants had been trafficked for sexual exploitation (29%), domestic servitude (29.3%), and labor exploitation (40.4%). Sixty-six percent of women reported forced sex during trafficking, including 95% of those trafficked for sexual exploitation and 54% of those trafficked for domestic servitude. Twenty-one percent of men and 24% of women reported ongoing injuries, and 8% of men and 23% of women reported diagnosed sexually transmitted infections. Finally, 78% of women and 40% of men reported high levels of depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Psychological interventions to support the recovery of this highly vulnerable population are urgently needed.
