    Arguments and debates to decriminalize prostitution have been hitting the news lately. Some politicians are making decrim part of their running platform.

So, I discuss Decriminalization of Prostitution Impacts on Sex Trafficking in this week's episode of the Traffick Talk podcast.

  • Ep 14 | R Kelly and Human Trafficking

    This week we're diving into some pop culture discussion on the Traffick Talk podcast. R Kelly and Human Trafficking. I watched one episode of Surviving R Kelly and immediately noticed red flags and indicators of human trafficking. 

    Trafficking of domestic (US citizen) minors in the United States is one of the most often misunderstood and overlooked forms of trafficking, particularly the form that I refer to as consumer based trafficking, others refer to it as survival sex or recreational trafficking. Give the episode a listen and let me know what you think.
