Helen Taylor: Fighting Sex Trafficking & Porn’s Hidden Exploitation Machine

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This video contains discussion of pornography, sexual exploitation, and related sensitive topics. Please watch with care.

Can an industry built on exploitation ever be made safe? And what happens when we stop pretending porn is harmless?

In this compelling episode of P WORD TALKS, Ian Henderson interviews Helen Taylor, Vice President of Impact at Exodus Cry — a global movement committed to abolishing sex trafficking and confronting the exploitation at the heart of the commercial sex industry.

Originally from London, Helen has spent over a decade reaching people in red-light districts, brothels, strip clubs, and jails — both in the U.S. and around the world. She is also the lead author of Exodus Cry’s Intervention Manual, which has trained hundreds of teams and churches in how to support and reach those trapped in sexual exploitation.

In this episode, Helen shares:

• Why the porn industry’s model is inherently exploitative — not empowering

• The false language of “choice” and how it masks coercion and abuse

• How porn normalizes violence and shapes cultural attitudes toward women

• What she saw at a major porn industry conference — and why it was chilling

• Why tech platforms and porn giants profit from trafficking and non-consensual content

• The emotional cost of doing outreach — and the hope she’s witnessed firsthand

• What it means to fight for justice and real sexual freedom in a pornified world

📍 Most shocking moment? Helen describes the atmosphere inside a porn expo: “Men were laughing at abuse. No one questioned it. The industry’s public image is a lie — and I saw it up close.”

“Real empowerment isn’t being consumed. It’s being seen, protected, and loved.”
