From the confinement of our homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, an idea was formed and a partnership emerged. With the help of the brilliant radio and podcast producer, Stephen Smith, our very own Audrey Morrissey, Co-Executive Director of My Life My Choice, spent time in 2022 sitting down with survivors and allies on our staff to have candid conversations about what the commercial sexual exploitations of children (CSEC) looks like today and what can be done to finally put an end to it. We invite you to listen in on members of our team as they walk you through what we do and why we do it.
This episode dives deep into the need for protecting victims of exploitation through legislative action and the importance of passing the Equality Model.
