106 Helena Croft: Once a Shy Girl, Now A Warrior For Women

10 years ago, Helena Croft founded Streetlight UK. Prostitution and trafficking is a very real issue. It's quite of the moment to suggest that sex work is empowering, but Helena has a very different and experienced take on this narrative which is currently being pushed about.

This episode is a conversation of two halves. First is about how Helena overcame terrible shyness and uncontrollable blushing that often held her back in life. And then how her faith helped her find her voice, which began her transition into politics. 10 years ago, she then founded Streetlight UK which gives support to women involved in prostitution.

You can read more about the charity on their website Spotlight UK and the book Helena mentioned was Trafficked
