CNN, February 6, 2017: (Opinion) Slavery survivor: Escaping a trafficker shouldn’t be left to chance
“Since regaining my freedom, I have spoken with many other trafficking victims who survived years — decades even — of horror and abuse because they did not have the good fortune to encounter knowledgeable citizens or informed police officers. I have made it a priority to help others and, last year, President Obama appointed me to serve on the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking. It is an honor to serve with other survivors, but one that comes with great responsibility to educate the public as well as convince policymakers to combat and prevent human trafficking in all its forms.”
