How does human trafficking primarily impact the physical health of its victims?

What are some common mental health consequences experienced by individuals who have been trafficked?
Victims of human trafficking often suffer from trauma, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and in severe cases, suicidal ideation, due to the coercion, abuse, and exploitation they endure.
What factors might contribute to human trafficking victims turning to substance abuse
Victims of human trafficking may turn to substance abuse as a coping mechanism to deal with the trauma they've experienced or due to coercion from their traffickers, as drugs or alcohol are often used as a means of control.
How does the fear of social stigma and rejection impact human trafficking survivors seeking help?
The fear of being judged or rejected by society can prevent human trafficking survivors from seeking the support and assistance they need, as they may feel ashamed or believe that they won't be believed or accepted if they disclose their experiences.
