Description

To start season 2 we discuss the myths & misconceptions surrounding human trafficking in the United States. Emily Worsham helps us understand how trafficking and exploitation can happen in virtually any city or any town.
Emily Worsham is Freedom 4/24’s office manager. She has served with Freedom for more than 5 years. Emily has been on each international trip and has witnessed the injustice of human trafficking in the red light districts.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a situation of trafficking or exploitation, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text HELP to 233733. You can also call the Department of Homeland Security Tipline (1-866-DHS-2-ICE) or your local police department non-emergency line.
We would love to hear from you! If you have questions, comments, or want to become a  Freedom 4/24 Ally, visit our website www.freedom424.org or email us at info@freedom424.org.
