"This is such a prevalent form of crime and it is clearly such a big industry, but one of the things that is so devastating about it is that most people I have talked to don't even know what it is." -Jackie and Hannah
This week, we discuss the global epidemic of Human Trafficking and the response that we have as advocates. It is a heavier episode, so we encourage you to tune into a different episode if this topic may be triggering for you. With that being said, we also urge you to check in with your friends and family members to ensure they are safe and healthy as well. We discuss our initial and current feelings towards Human Trafficking and then work our way to reflecting on some survivor stories and discussing ways to help, even from a distance. Following that, we talk about the Dressember movement and the idea of femininity. Allyship is a huge idea that we dive into as well and we discuss how our actions influence the society around us. Becoming educated on tough subjects is a great first step in stopping Human Trafficking and finding ways to bring more hope and acceptance into dark places. We hope you'll join us in bringing awareness to Human Trafficking!
Love,
Jackie and Hannah
