In today's society, various crimes have been focused on such as terror attacks due to the intensity of effect that they have on the affected individuals. However, other crimes have been given inadequate attention, yet their impact on the victims is significant, one of these crimes is human trade-. Today in the world human trafficking though not well known by many people is the second largest illegal business which comes after illegal drug and substance trade ( Jordan et al., 2013) . It is unfortunate to indicate that despite the numerous policies that have been put in place to safe guard the global population from human trafficking, the crime is still being executed and the victims subjected to human suffering which in turn affects their physical as well as psychological well-being.
Purpose of study
Human trafficking as in the recent past emerges as a human threat globally especially for women and children who comprises of approximately 60% of the victims ( De, 2013) . Human trafficking involves forcefully taking an individual for slavery, sex, for forced labor as well as for commercial sex activities such as pornography and prostitutions. It is important to indicate that human trafficking victims are subjected to numerous physical and psychological abuses which in turn lead to severe mental as well as emotional health problems ( Cloitre et al., 2011) . Some of the psychological problems that high numbers of human trafficking victims record include a severe feeling of guilt, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), drug and substance abuse, as well as suffering from depression ( Reyes et al., 2008) . Despite the adverse psychological health effects that the human trafficking victims face, it is important to indicate that the victims have limited access to medical help. As a result, most of the human trafficking victim suffer in silence which adversely affects their well-being. It is also important to indicate that the human trafficking victims continue to suffer in silence because little focus has been placed on helping the victims and their family members to cope with the human trafficking experiences ( Jordan et al., 2013) .

Literature indicates that all countries in the world have been faced with human trafficking problems, and it has become a persistent problem as the major criminals of the business run most of the country's economy and therefore, making it difficult to execute justices on such individuals. As a result, human trafficking has progressively continued to adversely affect the victims as well as the victim’s family both physically and psychologically. As at 2014, the International Labor Organization indicated that forced labor which is one of the forms of human trafficking accumulated approximately $150 billion in the form of profit which was also calculated on an annual basis. Additionally, in 2012, the ILO indicated that 21 million people were trapped in slavery and among this number 68% which accounts for 14.2 million were exploited in labor while 22% which accounts for 4.5 million were sexually exploited. Additionally, 10% which accounts for 2.2 million of the total number of the 21 million were exploited on the state-imposed labor ( Jordan et al., 2013) . The high numbers of human trafficking indicate the high need of medical and psychological support for human trafficking crimes. It is also important to indicate that the high numbers of human trafficking recorded every year significantly represents the total number of individuals suffering from mental disorders, physical and emotional disorders due to their experiences with human trafficking crime. Post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the mental disorder that most of the post-trafficking victims suffer from among other mental disorders such as anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma ( Reyes et al., 2008) .
Additionally, it is important to indicate that women and girls are the major targets for human trafficking as they are exploited for sex, commercial sex as well as for pornographic activities. However, it is also important to indicate that men are also a target for human trafficking. Literature suggests that human trafficking has adverse effects on mental as well as physical well -being of the victims, which include psychological disorders as well as sexual infection for those victims engaged in sexual exploitation, unwanted pregnancies, as well as other health conditions. Based on a study that was carried out in England on the health of human trafficking victims who mainly involved men and women, the study which was carried out with 169 participants indicated that 150 which is 88% of the total population consented the survey among whom 98 were women and 52 men ( Reyes et al., 2008) . Of the numbers, 68% of the participants recorded high prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, as well as PTSD and 38% of the 68 %, recorded suicidal ideation. It is also important to indicate that women recorded high numbers of psychological symptoms when compared to men ( Ezeh, 2017) . On the centrally, when scored relatively high in alcohol and substance abuse.
Based on the above data, it is important to introduce mental as well as other physical health services to human trafficking survivors. In this case, the hypothesis of this research indicates that human trafficking victims are physically and psychologically affected by the human trafficking experiences. On the other hand, the null hypothesis indicates that human trafficking does not in any way affect the human trafficking victims. The alternative hypothesis indicates that there is a significant effect on the physical, emotional, as well as psychological good being of a human trafficking victim due to human trafficking experiences.
Targeted population and Participants Selection
The research will involve victims of human trafficking. In this case, the participants must have in the recent past being trafficked, at least the individuals must not be more than six months after being saved from human trafficking. It is also important to indicate that the participants must not be older than sixty years, this is to ensure that the participants have a clear memory of the events as well as ensure that a medical doctor can evaluate the individuals physical and emotional abuse without being interfered by old age as well as other related disorders. It is always easy to establish physical and psychological abuses and disorders from recent cases of human trafficking survivors. The approach will also help to acquire accurate data regarding the physical and psychological effects of human trafficking, right from an early stage as it progresses throughout the victims' lives. It will also aid in establishing the effects of accessing adequate and appropriate medical help at an early stage in helping the most trafficking victims cope and recover from the abuses and human suffering associated with human trafficking.
It is also important to indicate that the study will involve, children, women and men, this will ensure that the data obtained is not biased and have adequate information on the targeted population which include young girls, women as well as men (Cloitre et al., 2011) . The technique will also aid in establish to what extent the human trafficking affects the different targeted groups, hence, establishing the prevalence group in matters relating to physical, emotional and psychological challenges of victims of human trafficking. The sample will include at least 250 individuals from different countries, and this will help in acquiring diversity about the extent to which victims of human trafficking are psychologically affected by human trafficking crimes. It is also important to include that three-quarter of the population will include women and young girls as they are the primary target of human trafficking ( De, 2013) . For example in a study carried out in England on men and women survivors of human trafficking, the study involved 150 participants among whom 98 were women while 52 were men ( Ezeh, 2017) . Among the participants, seven of them did not take part in the study due to health challenges which ranged from severe depression, physical illness, as well as due to advanced stages of pregnancy among other psychological distress disorders ( Reyes et al., 2008) . Additionally, due to the diversity of the search study, 69 of the participants which accounted for 46% involved an interpreter ( Reyes et al., 2008) . Additionally, the study will involve a significant number of women and girls who are survivors of the human trafficking. For example in a study carried out to determine the relationship between trauma and mental health to trafficked and sexually abused girls and women it involved a total of 204 participants. The face to face interview was carried out to survivors of human trafficking (women and girls) w among whom were from Ukraine and Moldova.
Research Questions and Hypothesis
The research question revolves around the physical, emotional as well as psychological effects of human trafficking. The question evaluates the extent to which the survivors of human trafficking are affected by their experiences, and this will in turn aid in establishing the numerous health problems that human trafficking survivors suffer during the process as well as during the post traffic period. The sub-research question will examine the accessibility of health facilities to the victims. The research question aims at establishing whether or not the human trafficking survivors have access to mental health services as well as other health services which are important in helping the survivors cope with their abuses such as physical and emotional. Additionally, another sub-question will question whether or not men and women are affected in equal measures by human trafficking experiences. The research question aims at establishing which gender is more prevalence to post trafficking psychological, physical as well as emotional effects.
The null hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between human trafficking experiences with physical, emotional as well as psychological challenges for the victims. On the other hand, the alternative hypothesis state that human trafficking has adverse effects on the victim's physical, emotional as well as psychological well being, hence, the general conclusion that human traffic result to physical, emotional as well as psychological disorders among its victims.
Ethical Consideration
Firstly, the participants' participation should be voluntary in this case, and the participants should feel free to either take part in the study or not. Additionally, during the process of survey, if for various reasons the participants wish to quit the research the participant will be free to do so without explaining the reasons ( Reyes et al., 2008) . It is also important to indicate that the research study will follow the right of consent whereby the participants will be is requested to take part in the research study through formal and written document. Additionally, the content will provide the participants with detailed information about the purpose of the study, the hypothesis as well as the period of the study and any other relevant information. This code of ethic requires the participants to be informed of the depth of the research study as well as the importance of the study ( Ezeh, 2017) . It is also important to indicate that the research study will highly uphold the participant's confidentiality. Despite the fact that there will be a face to face interview and interaction with the participants, it is important to indicate that they will be assured of the confidentiality of the information that they will provide ( Reyes et al., 2008) . Additionally, the data obtained will only be between the participant and the researcher, and the research findings will withhold the names of the participants in an attempt to uphold confidentiality. It is also important to indicate that personal information revealed during the research period will be kept confidential during and after the research period ( Jordan et al., 2013) .
