WARNING: This post covers topics of abduction, sexual assault, and trauma.

Without trying to minimize the fact that the disproportionate majority of human trafficking victims are women and girls, we’d like to remind ourselves that men and boys can also be victims of this heinous crime.

Like women and girls, men and boys are also victims of the social construct known as gender. But, unlike most women and girls who are abducted, tortured, raped, and sold because of gender stereotypes, men and boys dare not speak out if and after they’ve fled. They fear they’d be perceived as weak and less of a man if they admitted they were ever victims of human trafficking. Moreover, men who are survivors of sex trafficking are often labeled as willing participants rather than victims.

This also led to how men and boys who survived human trafficking are treated. There were very few services dedicated to helping them. Fortunately, many more survivors have spoken out to help reduce the stigma and stereotype.
