Abstract
Abstract Sex trafficking, a form of modern‐day slavery, is a multibillion‐dollar enterprise. Sex trafficking thrives via the sophisticated ways in which victims are manipulated into the sex trade, as well as trafficking's profitability with low risk of penalty for the perpetrators. Typically, victims of trafficking are targeted due to their vulnerability and are lured through force, fraud, or coercion. Sex trafficking occurs in residential brothels, restaurants, truck stops, motels/hotels, and other places and is not always recognizable to the general public. Due to trauma, shame, and fear, an individual who survives sex trafficking will often experience difficulty reintegrating into mainstream society. Survivors of trafficking may face complex challenges such as social isolation, poverty, mental health issues, medical issues, legal troubles, and increased vulnerability. It is also common for survivors of sex trafficking to have co‐occurring psychological diagnoses such as chemical dependency, mood disorders, and dissociate disorders.
