A Systematic Literature Review on Sports Programming for Survivors of Trafficking
Survivors of trafficking often endure complex traumas, resulting in severe psychological issues like PTSD and depression. These challenges hinder their reintegration into society, disrupt family connections, and lead to poor livelihood outcomes. Despite the popularity and significant funding of Sport for Development (SfD) programs globally, there has been no comprehensive review of their effectiveness for trafficking survivors. This systematic literature review breaks new ground by exploring how SfD programs can address the psychological distress, social reintegration, and livelihood prospects of trafficking survivors and trauma survivors that face the most comparable types of traumas.
