EP 62 - Sex Trafficking - Level Two

Welcome back to Six Minute Sex Ed, the podcast that helps people talk about sex, relationships, and growing up. Created and hosted by Sex Education Teacher Kim Cavill. Find her at www.teaandintimacy.com - https://twitter.com/sexposparenting - https://www.instagram.com/sixminutesexed/ This week’s episode is level two, making it perfect for tweens, teens, and adults. We’re going to talk about sex trafficking. We’re going to answer five questions about sex trafficking 1. What is sex trafficking? 2. How big of a problem is it? 3. What should I do if I feel exploited or unsafe? 4. How do I find more information? 5. What can I do to fight human trafficking? What should I do if I feel unsafe or if someone is forcing me to do something I don’t want to do? No one should ever be forced to have sex. Ever. Sex should always be a choice. No one should be forced to choose between having sex and having a place to live. No one should be forced to choose between having sex and getting or keeping a job. No one should be forced to choose between having sex and going hungry. Forcing or tricking someone into sex is wrong. If that has happened or is happening to you, the most important thing to know is that it is wrong and it is not your fault. If you can, tell someone you trust and ask them for help. Depending on where you live and how you feel, you can tell community helpers like teachers, social workers, doctors, nurses, fireman, or the police. If you don’t feel safe enough to tell anyone you know, you can call the national human trafficking hotline, or use their online chat. Links to both are in the show notes.
