ADVOCACY -- In EP. 233 of the Ending Human Trafficking podcast, Dr. Sandie Morgan and Bella Hounakey, a fierce survivor advocate, discuss how the trauma that survivors face is often overlooked by law enforcement. They go into detail about the language that is used in court and how it has the opportunity to bring a survivor justice or to fail them. Hounakey also describes how a community has the ability to change the direction of a survivor’s life by coming around them and lifting them up.
