Press Image of the Victims of Sex Trafficking

Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the doctoral dissertation Social Perception of Female Victims of Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation. Sociological analysis. It presents the results of an analysis of Polish press regarding the image of female sexual exploitation victims in the media. The author suggests that despite the increasing presence of the issue of human trafficking in the Polish press, often the quality and form of information is not satisfactory. Therefore, the media image of human trafficking victims in the Polish press is highly stereotypical. As female human trafficking victims are dehumanized, reificated and objectified in the media, it may further result in an unfavourable perception and stigmatization of sexually exploited women in the Polish society.
