Dignity Coconuts was born in 2010 and is a social enterprise with a mission to stop modern-day slavery for coconut farming communities. Years of nonprofit work fighting trafficking revealed many of the women were trafficked from poor rural farming areas. The coconut industry uses predatory loans and corrupt buying practices to enslave farmers, leaving them vulnerable to trafficking. Erik Olson, USA President of Dignity Coconuts, highlights what they are doing to help fight modern day slavery.

Jay Benke is an abduction and child sex trafficking survivor located in Oregon. As a person whose disabilities and LGBTQ2IA+ identity intersect with her survivorship, she brings a unique perspective as she serves the community. She specializes in advocacy for the disabled, trafficked children and youth, victims of intimate partner violence, people experiencing houselessness, and victims who have been incarcerated. The focus of her work ranges from criminal justice reform to demand reduction to survivor equity and inclusion to harm reduction and trauma-informed care. When I asked her to come on my show, I asked what she wanted to cover and Jay responded, "to talk about trauma from buyers for both prostituted people and for their partners and children, and how by not holding buyers accountable, we make it harder for the abused partners of buyers to leave."
