Foster Care to Child-Sex Trafficking Pipeline | What we Can Do | Angela Featherstone | DTH Podcast
There is an estimated 46 million people held in modern-day slavery today in what we call the human trafficking business...which is more than any other time in human history.
21% are being sex trafficked which is rape for hire. And the remaining 79% is physical labor held by force or terror.
The victims of this are overwhelmingly the poor and especially poor women and children.
This is happening right underneath our noses. There are approximately 125k ads online everyday in the US for people being advertised for purchase.The cities in the US that report the most incidents are California, Texas, Florida, and New York.
A report from the Freedom Thought Project shows that 88% of missing sex trafficked children come from the US foster care system.
This is something we all need to be aware of, and bring more awareness too, and have a lot more conversations about. And not only awareness but each of us needs to take action in any way we can.
My guest, Angela Featherstone is founder of The Fostering Care Healing School. Which is a non profit healing school for youth aging out of foster care, who’s goal is to not only help these children heal but to thrive.
She’s also a successful Actress and model, a Pushcart Prize nominated essayist and speaker. She writes and lectures on healing PTSD, child abuse, human trafficking, and intimacy.
She is an advocate for children in the foster care system. She herself has mentored a child in foster care through Kidsave. And she was a consultant on the Netflix documentary Cracked Up, documenting the effects of trauma and healing trauma.
