Devenir victime de la traite.

- Abstract
How do the victims of human trafficking, seen as guilty of sexual soliciting or irregular immigration status, manage to reach the status of right bearers and secure the recognition of the abuse they suffer? The purpose of this paper is to understand this process by resituating the "career" of the victims of trafficking in the context of their relationship to the institutions that are supposed to protect and/or control them: police forces, in charge of identifying them; support groups and NGOs providing social assistance to prostitutes; courts where the most serious procuring cases are judged. By resituating the different steps composing a trajectory of victimhood in its relationship to institutions, the paper contributes to a sociological analysis of the legal-bureaucratic work of categorization of individuals deprived of the resources necessary to defend their rights.
