Vicious cycle
Trafficking takes place under the cumulative conditions of deceit, violence and exploitation. The means could be consensual or coercive. Vulnerabilities, compulsions and choices may coexist. Some sections of law-enforcement agencies and political racketeers provide support to seasoned traffickers who work in tandem with families and close acquaintances of victims who may be re-trafficked several times. A good number of victims and survivors become traffickers themselves.
