Honour E. Odigie, LMSW & PhD Student (she/her/hers)

Psychotherapist & Researcher
University at Buffalo School
Troy, NY, United States

Honour Odigie, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and doctoral candidate at the University at Buffalo's School of Social Work, conducts research focused on the representation of migrant victims in anti-trafficking media campaigns and political discourse. Her work critically analyzes how these representations, often characterized by misleading tropes, contribute to inadequate policy and service provision outcomes. Odigie investigates the emergence of carceral policies and service responses to sex trafficking, which are rooted in a neoliberal framing of this social issue. Her research advocates for anti-carceral approaches that consider structural and policy-related barriers, emphasizing the need for the state to be held accountable for its role in creating the vulnerabilities that traffickers exploit in migrant populations.
