Full Description
Human Trafficking and Lived Experience draws from extensive interviews with survivors of human trafficking, offering best practices for meaning making through storytelling.
Exploitation in human trafficking has been vastly studied and discussed across various disciplines, but this book focuses on the power of stories: how to use them wisely, without retraumatizing survivors, but instead fostering their empowerment and resilience.
This is a vital guide for students and practitioners in cultural psychology, counseling, social work, and gender studies, as well as leaders in non-profit organizations and anti-trafficking task forces.
