Why Do Victims of Sex Trafficking Return to Brothels?

In India, a total of 6,533 victims — 2,877 children and 3,656 adults — were reportedly trafficked in 2021. Of them, 6,213 victims have been rescued. However, anti-trafficking activists consider a rescue a job half-done, since the need of the hour is to provide proper rehabilitation, otherwise — they are likely to end up sex workers again.
