Human Trafficking Awareness: Saving Innocence - Jessica Midkiff

Send us Fan Mail"Men! Fight for Me!" is the title of a book inspired by one of the survivors who shares their story in its pages.Human trafficking awareness is big in January which is national human trafficking awareness month. Child sex trafficking awareness is the dirty little topic that no one can stomach.Alan Smyth & Jessica Midkiff share the uncomfortable truth that Child Sex Trafficking is alive and booming in the US.Both work with the charity organization Saving Innocence to fight for CSEC or (Commercially Sexually Exploited Children) It is a necessary fight that we must win at all cost.In part 2 of this podcast I go deep with author Jessica Midkiff on the reality of child sex trafficking. Jessica's story is filled with the stuff of nightmares; surviving being trafficked from the age of 11 to 21 before getting out of "the life" as it is referred to. The abuse started at 3, but you will have to read the book for that.Jessica brings us unique insights. I left in some of the light conversation between the darkness because people need to see the human. She is a survivor, a warrior and most importantly a person. We can't trivialize the survivors, that makes it more comfortable. They are people, with families, faces, names, hopes, dreams and life long scars.This is happening right here, everyday, everywhere with an estimated 300,000 children being trafficked in the US alone every day. It is not somewhere else and it is not someone else's problem.It has to end and you are the answer!-------------------------- Guest and Organization information ---------------Websites:https://fightforme.net/ https://savinginnocence.org/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/savinginnocencehttps://www.facebook.com/FightForMeBook Twitter:https://twitter.com/savinginnocence https://twitter.com/2Cor618 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/fightformebook/https://www.instagram.com/savinginnocence/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@savinginnocence?lang=en Get the Book on Amazon -https://www.amazon.com/Men-Fight-Masculinity-Exploitation-Trafficking/dp/1954968388/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24G67SQPIIHH9&keywords=men+fight+for+me&qid=1642561986&s=books&sprefix=Men%21+Fight%2Cstripbooks%2C144&sr=1-1 The video version of this show is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAp9UJeMjWI Support the show
