This article attempts to examine the lived experiences of trafficked survivors and understand the utilization of cultural resources to generate positive attitudes towards trafficked survivors while they present themselves as responsible citizens of society in Assam, a press release said.
It focuses on the enabling narrative of de-stigmatisation, challenges to cope up in everyday life, and re-integration of the trafficked victims. This article attempts to examine human trafficking in Assam from the lens of Sociologist Erving Goffman’s theory of stigma.
