Segment 3 & 4 – Hidden in the Shadows: Sunday Speaker Series on Human Trafficking
Vicki Harkey joins Vanessa to get the word out about the Hidden in the Shadows: Sunday Speaker Series on Human Trafficking on October 1st at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Plymouth, MI. “Men become patrons of the local sex industry by their passive acceptance of explicit entertainment, pornography and direct purchase of sex. Learn how men in your community are helping with cyber disruption and dismantling of demand that drives sexual exploitation. And hear from a male survivor on his recovery journey.”
Vicki Harkey is the President of Pearls of Great Price Coalition, a grassroots Christian coalition in southeastern Michigan, working together to fight human trafficking through education and advocacy.
