Ways in which human trafficking affect victims self esteem
Answers
Human trafficking is the most brutal henious crimes which a human being could do to another human being.
Yes, it affects victims self esteem in multidimensional ways which the trafficker and we people cannot think.
When a person, make or female, is taken away from their homes they're reduced to the levels of mere goods which can be used in any way. This affects victims to think individually as human beings. They, over time, develop survivalist instincts than humane nature. In that way victims who were once free people are now primitive animals who live by, day-by-day, just fulfilling their basic needs.
Even after they're free, which won't usually happen, they live their lives on this survivalist primitive instincts only. This decapitates their ability to think about self esteem.
Self esteem comes by being free and human trafficking first takes away that freedom thereby wounding their self esteem.
Many activities where they'll be put such as prostitution, pornography, drugs peddling, illegal weapons, illegal documents, slavery at various locations, illegal organ donors etc treat them as mere commodities. They are things to be used to make money. Self esteem is thrown in air.
Hope it helps :)
