Title: As Bad as it Gets: Well Being Deprivation of Sexually Exploited Trafficked women
Abstract: The International Organization for Migration has collected data on traffěcked ěndividuals. 
The aim of this paper is to use the sub-sample of sexually exploited women in order to explore the relationship 
between their well being deprivation, their personal characteristics, and their working locations. We use the 
theoretical framework of the capability approach to conceptualize well being deprivation and we estimate a MIMIC 
(Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes) model. The utilized inděcators measure abuse, freedom of movement, and access 
to medical care. This model also allows us to estimate the effects of some covariates on this measure of well being.
