[Episode 17] December 2, 2020:
The Role of Men in the Fight Against Sexual Exploitation
Panel Discussion with Special Guests
The reality of sexual exploitation is that EVERY SINGLE person can be vulnerable to this. Men, women, children…the question then is: WHO’s battle is this? What we can say for sure is, women must lead this movement given that 90% of the victims of rape/sexual assault in the US are women and girls. But it is just as essential that men step up as allies and take up their fight against this alongside women. Join us as we discuss the role of men in the fight against sexual exploitation.
