Parents as Perpetrators: Family-facilitated Child Sex Trafficking in India and Intergenerational Implications for Maternal and Child Well-Being
Rochelle Dalla
Professor of child, youth and family studies
3:30 p.m., April 30, 2025, Swanson Auditorium, Nebraska Union
Human trafficking in India often passes through generations, not because people want their children to enter the commercial sex trade but because sometimes it’s necessary. Family-based sex trafficking is seen as a means of survival in numerous Dalit (formerly “untouchable”) castes who are discriminated against and marginalized. Dalla’s research focuses on the political, economic and social systems that limit familial options of survival and lay the foundation for family-based sex trafficking.
