Learn about how human trafficking is caused by the culture of a neo-liberal economic order as the causal or sufficient variable. The trafficked survivor’s traumatic experiences are often silenced, unspoken, and disregarded. Dr. Niumai will explore the unspoken narratives of trafficked survivors to examine their intersectional experiences and identities. Intersectionality of trafficking acknowledges that women's experiences of exploitation, oppression, and discrimination are shaped by multiple intersecting factors such as gender, race, and the like. This intersectionality framework recognizes that women's identities are not uniform and that various systems of power and privilege intersect to create unique experiences of marginalization and privilege. Women and girls from Manipur with oriental racial features are often perceived as the people of the Far East. As a result, they face discrimination and exclusion in the mainstream Indian society.
