Breaking
the Cycle of Vulnerability: Responding to the health needs of
trafficked women in East and Southern Africa (PDF
1.01MB)
IOM, October 2006
This report documents three trafficking trends in the region,
and looks at the health risks that trafficked women encounter
in each one.
In all three trends women are vulnerable to sexual, reproductive
and mental health-related problems. At present, organisations
that aim to counter human trafficking in East and Southern Africa
tend to focus on the prevention of trafficking, legislative change,
and general victim assistance and return.
This report investigates these issues and why the health of trafficked
women should be integrated in the trafficking discourse in order
to address the vulnerability of victims of trafficking to sexual,
reproductive and mental health related problems.
