#75 - The Link between Porn and Human Trafficking | Lisa Thompson

In this digital age, there is no doubt that the use of different technologies and the continuous evolution of global media has been beneficial for us and made it much easier for us to spread and receive information. Because of this, underground industries and the black market are taking advantage of this widening reach, allowing them to revolutionize sex trafficking.

Pornography has become even more accessible to everyone, making it dangerous for young people or children who also use the Internet on a daily basis. 

In this episode, we have Lisa Thompson, a member of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation who are the key contributors to fighting human trafficking, raising awareness, and empowering people to end it. 

We talk about the similarities of human trafficking vs. pornography, how media has a predatory dependence upon vulnerable women and children, and how she used her voice and bravery to travel the world to do her job and raise awareness on this issue.
