Empowering Communities to Combat Trafficking: An Interview with Tracy Scheffler (Part One)


Listen Later

Discover the unsettling truths about sex trafficking with our special guest, Tracy Scheffler from 5-Stones Dodge County. Tracy takes us on an eye-opening journey, challenging the myths often perpetuated by Hollywood and shining a light on the harsh realities of trafficking that are frequently overlooked, especially in rural areas. Her personal experiences and deep commitment to this cause provide unique insights into the tactics traffickers use and underscore the critical importance of education in prevention.

We confront the misconceptions surrounding human trafficking, particularly those that exist within conservative religious communities. It's a stark reminder that this is not just an urban issue or a plotline from a blockbuster movie but a reality that can affect any neighborhood. Through the work of organizations like 5-Stones, we explore how awareness, education, and collaboration can be powerful tools in combating trafficking. Our discussion includes the changing landscape of trafficking, influenced by technology and social media, and stresses the necessity of teaching our children to navigate these dangers safely.

Rural communities often feel insulated from the threats of trafficking, yet these areas can be prime targets due to anonymity. We reveal the deceptive relationships traffickers forge to control their victims and emphasize the need for awareness in all communities to fight this growing problem. As we look at the emotional challenges of exposing these harsh realities, we also offer hope and strategies for prevention and recovery. Stay tuned for the next part of our series, where we'll dive deeper into how online activities and pornography intersect with sex trafficking.
