The problem with sex trafficking and human trafficking is broken men. So we need the good, strong men to step up and confront those broken men with bad intentions, because we are shrinking away as a society.
Can genuine masculinity help tackle the scourge of human trafficking? In this episode of 'The Super Human Life,' Frank Rich chats with Alan Smyth, the executive director of Saving Innocence, about how authentic masculinity can be a powerful force in fighting sex trafficking. Alan shares his unique perspective, shaped by years of working closely with survivors and law enforcement.
He emphasizes that the root of the problem often lies in broken men and that it's time for good men to step up and take action. Alan's book, 'Men! Fight For Me,' co-authored with Jessica Midkiff, a survivor of child trafficking, serves as a call to arms for men to embrace their role in ending this exploitation.
The conversation touches on the profound impact absent fathers have on boys, the troubling link between addiction and sex trafficking, and practical ways society can support survivors. This episode isn't just about raising awareness; it's about mobilizing communities and encouraging men to lead by example. Alan and Frank discuss strategic partnerships with law enforcement, social services, and schools to provide immediate help to victims. They also explore how communities can work together to prevent abuse and increase safety.
Whether you're looking to understand the complexities of human trafficking or seeking ways to make a difference, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps. Tune in to hear how authentic masculinity can be a key element in the fight against human trafficking.
