E24 - Jennifer and Nikki - Human and Sex Trafficking

Join Cole Welch Caffrey this Thursday, January 13th on "The Empty Chair" a LIVE podcast for the addict that didn't know recovery was possible.

The month of January is dedicated to "Human and Sex Trafficking Prevention & Awareness" and this week we will be touching on these topics that many don't want to address.

Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use violence, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations.

Tune in to hear the testimonies of "2" survivors, Jennifer & Nikki, and how they escaped one of the deadliest industries in the world.

Jenn experienced sexual abuse and brokenness in early childhood. She knew things weren’t normal but didn't know how to ask for help.

Nikki was a victim of human sex trafficking and has been out of “the game” for 5 years.

Both these women became addicts to avoid the traumas of their past. Today, they share their stories in HOPE to help others escape the deadly game of human sex trafficking and to offer education of signs to look for and resources on how to escape.

This is a show you do NOT want to MISS !!!!
