    Join us for a special season 4 pre-release episode of Invading the Darkness. Mikayla and Yvonne take a look back at how Shared Hope has been a leader in the field of anti-trafficking when addressing the issue of demand.

    Talking about ending demand is the start of prevention and we want to remind listeners of the amazing work that Shared Hope has been able to accomplish for over two decades. We will always fight for the justice of survivors, but we must start by demanding justice and holing buyers accountable.

I like the history and discussion on terminology. Really eye opening to see how by changing the terminology and culture we can help save these kids. Well done.

Great information for all parents!
