Content: The ruse may continue for weeks or even months. Once they gain control of their victim, however, the victim will likely quickly recognize the promises were empty. Coercion
Coercion is psychological manipulation that is used to convince someone they want to take part in something they likely do not actually want to do. Coercion does not include physical abuse. Instead, it is a type of psychological abuse. This could include: Threatening to harm the victim
Threats of physical violence against the victim’s family
Confiscating the victim’s passport or other similar documents
Humiliating and shaming the victim for participating in the forced sex acts or other activities
Threatening to deport the victim
Threatening to expose their illegal activities to loved ones or the authorities
Because sex and human traffickers target the most vulnerable anyway, it is often difficult for those they recruit to report or escape the abuse. They may fear being deported, worry about being arrested for forced sex or illegal activity, be physically unable to escape confinement to seek help or struggle to communicate because of a language barrier or disability.
