Abstract
Human trafficking is an unjust and awful act against humanity and it’s a global concern. Human trafficking is the fastest-growing illegal business in terms of organized crime and the third-largest income revenue after drugs and weapons trafficking. Despite apparent similarities in the pattern of exploitation, an experience of abuse, inequality, and vulnerability among the survivors, their subjective potential for distress is highly diverse (Deborah L. Harrison, 2006). Survivors of sex trafficking experience all forms of human rights violation from abuse, torture, rape, threat, etc. while the situation is full of negativity pained with traumatic experience, there are a lot of studies done to understand the psychological distress among the survivors, yet there exists a paucity of literature in the field of positive psychology. As the population is highly vulnerable to many psychological issues, it is more imperative to explore the positive factors like hope rather than just focusing on psychopathology. Hence the present study aims to examine Hope as a positive factor among the survivors of human trafficking.
