dc.description.abstractIn November 2017, the stories of women and girls who had been trafficked for sexual exploitation from West Bengal, India were recorded and the role that education and vocational training plays in societal reintegration post-trafficking was examined. Data reveals that poverty paired with a lack of access to education make individuals vulnerable to human trafficking. All participants in the study came from low socio-economic backgrounds where necessities were lacking; further, most did not complete elementary school. The study results also indicate that girls are at-risk of being trafficked simply because they are a girl. Finally, the data shows the positive impact of post-trafficking supports which result in necessary jobs leading to self-independence and advocacy. Anti-poverty initiatives and education are needed to fight trafficking through raising awareness, changing mindsets, and empowering women and girls. Stories from India can help inform practices to support women and girls who have been trafficked globally.
