In this episode of Beyond Awareness, Taylor Woodruff and Taylor Johnson join us to talk about engaging men in the anti-trafficking movement. We discuss how harmful norms around masculinity can contribute to exploitation, why inviting men into the conversation matters, and how programs like SSE and Real Talk are helping young men and adult men think differently about respect, relationships, and accountability.
