Notes:	Discusses some of the key features of the impact of forced sexual slavery on trafficked women and children and attempts to draw parallels between these and other forms of interpersonal trauma. Risk and resilience factors and other factors influencing the impact of trauma on individuals, such as the nature of the trauma involved and the developmental stage of the victim are identified and it is suggested that women who are victims of trafficking and sexual slavery demonstrate similar responses to their trauma as women who experience sexual abuse, torture and/or domestic violence. Suggests that the knowledge and experience of services directed at the latter forms of abuse could inform the work of agencies combating the former.
