This presentation will unravel the steps that many trafficking victims take from the grooming period through the branding and psychological bonding of the women by the traffickers and in many cases, the groups that are formed. The presenters work in academic as well as clinical settings using the information to design and develop intervention programs. The various intricate techniques learned from the women themselves helps us understand the traumatic bonding that occurs and the ways to help the women regain their own psychological independence.
