Sarah and Molly on sex trafficking

Sarah and Molly on sex trafficking

Author: Molly Coeling February 1, 2022 Duration: 34:53

 

**GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING** please listen with care

In this conversation, Molly and regular special guest Sarah Brennan reflect on how close to home the issue of sex trafficking is, including Sarah's own story of being groomed and, ultimately, trafficked. Indeed, the Department of Homeland Security's relatively new definition of sex trafficking acknowledges domestic sex trafficking, as well as international. And as we head into Super Bowl weekend in a couple weeks, we can anticipate that 10,000 girls & women will be trafficked in some way at that event alone.
