Empowered Or Exploited?

Where Do We Draw The Line Between Personal Freedom And Exploitation? In This Solo Episode Of Abstract Audio, We Explore The Complicated World Of Human Trafficking, Prostitution, And The Systems That Shape How Society Views The Human Body. From The Debate Surrounding The Legalization Of Sex Work To The Uncomfortable Realities Of Trafficking, Consent, And Commodification, We Question Who Really Benefits From Criminalization, Who Gets Left Vulnerable, And Whether Society’s Attempts To Protect People Sometimes Do More Harm Than Good. When Survival, Money, And Personal Choice Collide, How Do We Distinguish Empowerment From Exploitation? And More Importantly, Who Gets To Decide? Need Help Or Know Someone Who Does? If You Or Someone You Know Is Experiencing Human Trafficking Or Exploitation, Confidential Help Is Available 24/7.
