Men's HUB – 028, 1st Apr 2023
It’s important to note that men and boys can be trafficked by both men and women and that trafficking is not a crime of desire, but a crime of power and control.
To address this issue, it’s crucial
to raise awareness and educate the public
about the realities of the trafficking of men
and boys. This includes dispelling myths and
stereotypes about men and trafficking,
providing support and resources specifically
for men and boys, and training professionals
who work with trafficking victims to
recognize and respond appropriately to the
trafficking of men and boys.
It is also important to have a zero-
tolerance policy for human trafficking and to
provide equal access to resources and
support for men, women, and non-binary
individuals.
In addition, it’s important to have a broader and more inclusive definition of trafficking that includes all forms of exploitation and recognizes that men and boys can be victims of trafficking. This will help to ensure that men and boys who have been trafficked have access to the support and resources they need to heal and move forward.
In conclusion, human trafficking is a serious issue that affects people of all genders. Men and boys can also be victims of trafficking and their experiences should be acknowledged, respected, and addressed. By raising awareness and providing support and resources specifically for men and boys, we can help to break the cycle of trafficking and create a safer and more equitable society for all.
