Maylissa Luby, a survivor of sex trafficking, is the founder of the non-profit May’s Heart. In this podcast she talks about the increase in sex trafficking during the pandemic and how she hopes the Church will work to prevent trafficking and help heal its victims.

 

“People that are already vulnerable are more oppressed during this time,” Luby says. She outlines how isolation in abusive situations, an increase in pornography use, and the vulnerability of children online during the pandemic have all contributed to an increase in sex trafficking.

 

“We need to be able to do prevention programs in our churches. Because the root of this is sexual abuse. The demand is happening because there are millions of people addicted to pornography who are really driving this whole thing.”
