ABSTRACT
Human trafficking victims frequently have severe psychological, emotional, and social difficulties that hinder them from leading regular lives following their rescue. In order to give survivors their dignity, independence, and functionality back, this essay examines the crucial procedures of rehabilitation and reintegration. Treatment of the psychological and emotional pain caused by the abuse is the main goal of rehabilitation. It helps victims process their traumas and regain a feeling of self-worth by providing them with psychological assistance, medical attention, and therapy. Conversely, reintegration aims to reintegrate the victim into society by providing them with shelter, work, education, and supportive social networks. Reintegration allows victims to move past their history and create a secure, independent life, whereas rehabilitation helps them deal with it. A victim's long-term recovery may be seriously hampered by the lack of either of the two processes, which are intricately linked. Without the right help, victims run the risk of becoming socially isolated, becoming victims again, and developing a persistent mistrust or dread, especially of strangers and unfamiliar situations. In order to properly support survivors' recovery journeys, this study contends that a thorough, victim-centered strategy that incorporates both rehabilitation and reintegration is necessary. Using case studies, victim testimonies, and recommendations of policy,offers a thorough examination of best methods, difficulties, and suggestions for intervention and legislative measures. The ability of a society to both rescue victims and reintegrate them into society is ultimately measured by effective reintegration.
