Grooming is the process of luring a targeted victim into trafficking. We've touched on grooming in previous episodes, but we haven’t focused on it in detail. Today’s guest, Callie, wanted to get specific about grooming, this part of human trafficking that’s often overlooked.
Getting a new perspective on this issue will help us all have a better understanding of how complex human trafficking is. Callie's experience was a little different. She wasn’t trafficked as a teenager or young adult. She was 33. When she and her ex-fiance broke up that she was financially vulnerable. In this moment of vulnerability a trafficker found her and began readying Callie for his purposes.
