#Save Our Girls USA: Healing, empowerment and survival
The Final Call offers third installment in important series sex trafficking, abuse and efforts to rescue and restore Black women and girls who are victimized.
LOS ANGELES - When Audrey Morrissey tells teenage girls to avoid strangers and the pitfalls of persuasive boyfriends and fancy cars, she speaks from firsthand knowledge. Her boyfriend lured her into commercial sex trafficking at 16.
The survivor-advocate was 30-years-old when she finally exited the life, armed with an understanding of why the crisis persists today and pathways to heal, restore and empower young victims.
“The problem of child sex trafficking persists because of the demand. As with anything else, remove the demand for it and it wouldn’t exist,” stated Ms. Morrissey, associate director of My Life My Choice, a Boston non-profit, which works to prevent commercial sexual exploitation of adolescent girls. They work to keep the girls out of strip clubs, massage parlors and other so-called legitimate businesses used to hide and facilitate prostitution.

By The Honorable Minister Louis FarrakhanThe woman, if true to her feminine nature, is really an advance over the man.
