Taken in plain sight - A story of human trafficking with Dr Katariina Rosenblatt

Hey Lifers!

Guess who's back? Back again! It's our resident fill in Matty J!

Sadly, our girl Britt has been struck down by covid and the flu so Matt's gotten the call up to the microphone! He's hot off the plane from the Logies and ready to spill some red carpet goss!

Then we are diving into a much deeper conversation. In today's episode we are talking with Dr Katariina Rosenblatt. Kat was a victim of sex trafficking from the time she was just 13 years old, until the age of 17. Kat grew up in Miami, Florida and experienced trafficking on several, separate occasions. 

In this episode, Kat talks us through her harrowing story that really pulls back the curtain on what child sex trafficking actually looks like in our world. It was extremely eye opening for us to learn about how different it is to what we imagined sex trafficking was. 

Kat speaks about what makes certain children vulnerable as 'prey.'

She educates us on what the people who organise trafficking are like and how they operate. She is a very resilient and strong woman. Her story is shocking and compelling.

Dr Kat is now using her trauma to educate others on the horrific issue of Child sex trafficking and is workig alongside the FBI to literally save childrens lives.

This episode may be very triggering for anyone who has experienced or had a loved one experience any form of sexual assault. If this raises any issues for you, please give this episode a miss, listen to it with someone you feel safe around or leave it for another time. Help can always be found at 1800-RESPECT.
