In this episode, we speak with Anna Chessky and Nicole Acero, Associate Directors of Research at the Empower Lab. They talk about the clinical research and advocacy work the lab does to further gender equity. We also find out more about how the Empower lab approaches issues of gender-based violence, sex trafficking, female genital cutting and other issues that mostly affect low-income women around the world. We uncover how sugar dating works, its implications and future research presentations.
