1. LASTING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA

Child trafficking leads to severe psychological effects like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These emotional wounds often persist into adulthood, damaging victims' self-esteem, trust, and ability to form healthy





2. METHODS OF MANIPULATION
Traffickers use grooming, emotional manipulation, threats, and isolation to maintain control. These tactics destroy a child's sense of identity and make them fearful, dependent, and less likely to seek help.








3. CHALLENGES AFTER RESCUE
Survivors face difficulties trusting others, socializing, and performing in school. Emotional scars and prolonged isolation hinder their ability to reintegrate into normal life and connect with peers.










4. IMPORTANCE OF TRAUMAINFORMED
CARE
Providing safe, understanding environments and mental health support is crucial.
Trauma-informed care helps survivors process their experiences, build coping skills, and feel empowered on their path to healing.

5. PREVENTION THROUGH SUPPORT AND
AWARENESS
To combat trafficking, society must raise awareness, ensure long-term care for survivors, and create opportunities for education and recovery, helping children rebuild their lives and break free from exploitation.
