Butterfly Re/integration Research
In 2010, Chab Dai launched a 10-year research project to better understand re-integration for male and female survivors of sex trafficking which concluded in 2019. The purpose of the Butterfly research project is to “hear” directly from the participating survivors – about their lives, understandings and experiences – so their voices can contribute towards a greater understanding of the complexities of re-integration and NGO programs.
