  • Violence Increases Psychological Distress Among Women Trafficking Survivors in Ghana

    Open AccessTimothy G Edgemon, J Clay-Warner et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2024Referencias: 3

    Human trafficking is a crime that is often shaped by violence, particularly for women who are trafficked.

    John K AnarfiCHAPTERGlobal Sex Workers2018

    Until the 1970s, migration studies in Ghana focused on the movement of men. Any mention of women was as wives left behind in the rural areas to tend to farm plots and care for children and village property. Writing on the vulnerability to AIDS of some groups of Ghanaian woman, including sex workers, Adomako-Ampofo stresses that "women&s;s disadvantaged positions have a direct influence on the kind of sexual relationships they enter and their clou…

  • Social Support, Dysfunctional Coping, and Community Reintegration as Predictors of PTSD Among Human Trafficking Survivors

    Human trafficking exerts psychological effects on survivors that persist after intervention, and even after community reintegration. Effects include anxiety, depression, alienation, disorientation, aggression, suicidal ideation, attention deficit, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Community supports and coping mechanisms may mitigate these effects. The report presented here is part of a long-term program of research to develop and test ev…

  • Mobility, Migration, Sex, STDs, and Aids

    John C Caldwell, John K Anarfi et al.CHAPTERSexual cultures and migration in…1997

    Migration has always facilitated the spread of any infectious disease. This has been the case even with diseases transmitted by insect vectors as has been demon strated in Nigeria (Prothero, 1965). Migration does this in two ways. First, it brings more people into contact with each other and is the means whereby dis eases can be carried from one community to others over considerable distances. Second, it has been a major factor in the growth of u…
