Although, the studies are limited, it seems the psychology of a pimped woman is very similar to that of a battered woman. The use of violence, economic exploitation, social isolation, verbal abuse, intimidation and sexual abuse are effective methods used on her. The longer the pimp controls and isolates her, the more his power over her grows. What the psychological effects of the experience of being trafficked has on a woman, is still not well understood. Clinicians have found a woman who has been trafficked/pimped exhibit depression, mood disorders, anxiety disorders (including post-traumatic stress disorder), and sometimes substance abuse.
Even if a girl escapes trafficking, it sometimes very difficult for her to reintegrate into society. Like a battered woman, many trafficked woman will return to their pimp/trafficker. The prostitution and sexual exploitation of women has existed for centuries. Twentyfour-Seven recognizes tourists and man visit prostitutes, our goal is to ensure they remember, prostitution and trafficking can appear voluntary, but in reality the girls are not there their own free choice.
Almost all the girls are there because of circumstance and coercion . If you are a man visiting a prostitute, treating a sex worker with respect and reporting suspected human trafficking is the most important thing you can do.
