About the webinar:
In India, Terre des hommes Foundation has been working with 35 civil society organisations to transform reintegration practices of service providers to support survivors of trafficking and exploitation return to safe, protective and resilient communities in the states of West Bengal and Jharkhand. In India stigma in the lives of survivors of sex trafficking is multi-layered. It emanates from deeply held socio-cultural beliefs surrounding sexuality and gender roles. It is complex as stigma is present not just in the actions of others and the socio-cultural milieu of the survivor but also in the fears held within a survivor’s mind and her/his own self-concept.
This webinar will share the existing and most prevalent social norms in the context of human trafficking and critically analyse their influence and practice; the emerging social sanctions and identify barriers to transformation of regressive norms, which perpetuate gender discrimination and violence. This webinar will also inform the factors such as beliefs, aspirations, attitudes and their interplay with social issues, such as social networks and support in the context of reintegration of human trafficking. In doing so. It will also highlight the role of the positive deviants within the families, communities and institutions that can trigger a lasting change.
This Webinar would be informative for individuals, researchers and practitioners who wish to employ the ‘social norms’ lens for behavioural change; and for those working on the challenging issue of reintegration of survivors of trafficking.
