Podcast Episode 63: Freeing Youth from Sex Trafficking

In July 2020, there was an uptick in honest conversations around the human trafficking of youth. There were social media campaigns, marches and exposés coordinated to raise awareness. But I wanted to find a way to move this discussion beyond a hashtag, a shirt color, a social media post. I wanted to uncover practical ways that we can affect long-lasting change in the fight to free youth from sex trafficking.

So, I asked you to submit your burning questions about this cause, and then I reached out to Traffick911, the only child sex trafficking advocacy agency serving all of North Texas, to help me answer them.

And I had the opportunity to interview their Voice & Choice Community Program Coordinator, April Barker.

In Ep. 063, April shares:

• How sex trafficking is a symptom of relational brokenness

• 3 steps to help prevent more children from being exploited

• Trafficking signs to look out for and what to do when you spot them

• How parents can coach their kids to be safe online

• How to determine which advocacy organizations are actually trustworthy

And so. much. more. Go ahead, and press play to tune in to this POWERFUL episode. Trust me, you won't want to miss it.
