A Child Sex Trafficking Survivor Speaks Out

A ten year old Belgian girl found herself sold into a murderous pedophile network by her own mentally ill mother. Despite living in hell, the little girl still loved her mother and believed that someday she would find love in another person as well. Surrounded by betrayal, violence and a near-death experience - among other horrors - she faced an almost certain demise. HBH is honored to welcome Anneke Lucas as our guest.Severe and organized child abuse is among our world’s greatest horrors. To such an extent, that it can be hard to comprehend and process. Acknowledging the existence of evils so significant can be the first step towards eradication. For the victims, acknowledging the darkness can be the first step in the healing process.Anneke bravely recounts her experience. Her strength and poise is enough to give anyone pause, when the reality of what she has survived comes into focus. Despite such suffering at far too young of an age, ultimately she has found remarkable peace and unconditional love.We thank you for listening to Anneke’s important story and we certainly recommend her book, published earlier this year: ‘Quest For Love: Memoir of a Child Sex Slave’.
