Seasoning

In the context of human trafficking, the term “seasoning” may refer to the process of acclimating or training a victim to comply with the demands of their traffickers or exploiters. This process may involve a variety of tactics, such as physical abuse, psychological manipulation, and threats of violence, in order to control and coerce the victim into compliance.

Seasoning may be used to break down the victim’s resistance and to make them more willing to engage in commercial sex acts or other forms of exploitation. It is a form of abuse and control that is often used by pimps and traffickers to assert their dominance and to exert control over their victims.

It is important to recognize the signs of human trafficking and to report any suspected cases to the authorities. If you or someone you know is being exploited, it is important to seek help and support from a trusted source, such as a crisis hotline or a law enforcement agency.
