The Forgotten Cohort: An Exploration of Themes and Patterns Among Male Survivors of Sexual Exploitation & Trafficking

The Butterfly Longitudinal Research Project has followed 128 survivors of trafficking through their experiences in aftercare, community reintegration, and beyond to help develop a better understanding of the recovery and reintegration of survivors in the Cambodian context. Despite the wealth of data and analysis previously generated, this report focuses on the gaps in previous research and examines the male cohort holistically, taking into account their statement and narratives. The report includes a lot of qualitative narratives in hopes of supplementing a stronger context for the understanding of anti-trafficking professionals.
