How Love146 Fights Trafficking: Education, Prevention, and Survivor Healing with Erin Williamson – Episode 414

Healing isn’t a rescue moment, it’s a long, supported journey. Survivors deserve time, safety, and people who show up. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Erin Williamson, the Chief Programs & Strategy Officer at Love146, a leading organization dedicated to preventing child trafficking and providing holistic, trauma-informed care for survivors. Erin brings more than two decades of experience in social services and criminal justice, with deep expertise in human trafficking and child sexual exploitation. She holds a Master’s in Public Administration, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and serves on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ National Advisory Committee on the Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth in the United States. Through her leadership at Love146, Erin helps shape innovative prevention education and survivor-support programs across the country. In today’s conversation, we dive into how Love146 is working to stop trafficking before it starts, challenge common misconceptions, address the growing risks of the digital age, and support survivors with care that honors their voice, agency, and long-term healing.
