Research on the health of trafficked men and on the health problems associated with trafficking for labor exploitation are extremely limited. This study analysed data from a case series of anonymised case records of a consecutive sample of 35 men and women who had been trafficked for labor exploitation in the UK and who were receiving support from a non-governmental service between June 2009 and July 2010. Over three-quarters of our sample was male (77 %) and two-thirds aged between 18 and 35 years (mean 32.9 years, SD 10.2). Forty percent reported experiencing physical violence while they were trafficked. Eighty-one percent (25/31) reported one or more physical health symptoms. Fifty-seven percent (17/30) reported one or more post-traumatic stress symptoms. A substantial proportion of men and women who are trafficked for labor exploitation may experience violence and abuse, and have physical and mental health symptoms. People who have been trafficked for forced labor need access to medical assessment and treatment.
关于被贩运男性的健康以及与劳动力剥削性贩运相关的健康问题的研究极为有限。本研究分析了一系列案例的数据,这些案例来自2009年6月至2010年7月期间在英国因劳动力剥削而被贩运且正在接受一家非政府服务机构支持的35名男性和女性的连续匿名案例记录样本。我们样本中超过四分之三是男性(77%),三分之二年龄在18至35岁之间(平均32.9岁,标准差10.2)。40%的人报告在被贩运期间遭受过身体暴力。81%(25/31)的人报告有一个或多个身体健康症状。57%(17/30)的人报告有一个或多个创伤后应激症状。相当一部分因劳动力剥削而被贩运的男性和女性可能会遭受暴力和虐待,并出现身心健康症状。被贩运从事强迫劳动的人需要获得医疗评估和治疗。
