How Traffickers Prey On Our Childhood Experiences
Show Notes

Traffickers are master manipulators.

They twist past trauma to gain trust, build bonds, and even evoke love in their victims. This kind of emotional entanglement makes tricking a victim into human trafficking easy.

We don't have control over what happens to us, especially as children. So is trafficking avoidable? Or are we stuck with the cards we're dealt?

In this episode, we sit down with Sara Breuer, Education Coordinator at United Against Human Trafficking. We discuss childhood trauma, how human traffickers manipulate their victims, and how you can keep yourself and your families safe.
