Human Trafficking Awareness/Prevention Program: Session 5 – Manipulation or coercion and control - Traffickers are MASTERS at this.
Students learned the three T''s of Trafficking:
TARGETED - Traffickers (pimps) shop for their victims in shopping malls, bus stops, school, after school programs or hang-out locations like popular fast food restaurants or anywhere were teens gather.
TRICKED - pimps invest a lot of time and effort forming a bond with their victims. They often buy gifts, provide a place to stay, and give affection before revealing their real intent - to sell them for sex.
TRAUMATIZED - The pimp's use of psychological manipulation, physical violence and rape can make the victim feel trapped and powerless.
