The study was conducted in the Moscow rehabilitation center of International Organization for Migration for the victims of traffi cking. 78 females – victims of sex slavery aging 15–35 constitute the main group in the study; the control group consists of 100 female students of the university aging 18–25 years. Signifi cant differences in the level of socialization, personality characteristics, and conditions of socialization were revealed between groups. Six groups of key socio-psychological features characterizing cognitive, emotional and volitional, personality factors of victimization, rehabilitation potential, traumatic experience, typical for female victims of sex slavery were identifi ed by means of factor analysis. It was proved that victimity as a socio-psychological mechanism of social behavior regulation correlates with girls’ diffi cult life situation, as well as with social immaturity, which is a consequence of unfavorable conditions of socialization.
