From Trafficked to Freedom ~ Selena Drunert Ep.145

Send us a text

We know it is happening out there, but we may be surprised to hear that trafficking affects the girl next door. Sex trafficking is happening in every state, including right here in Arizona.

Sarah Buchanan, founder of Hope Rising AZ and a 16-year law enforcement veteran who served on the human trafficking unit, says there's a critical gap in services for survivors. Arizona currently ranks 13th in the nation for sex trafficking—“… yet Hope Rising Arizona is now the only restorative care sanctuary for sex trafficking survivors south of Phoenix”.

As my friend and Executive Director of Hope Rising, AZ, Andy Thomas shares, 80% of women who don't receive care will return to their abusers. The need for safe, restorative spaces couldn’t be more urgent.

In this episode, you’re going to hear the story of a survivor, her name is Selena—She seemed like the girl next door, yet nobody knew that abuse and exploitation at the age of 8--- would set her on a trajectory to entrapment in the commercial sex industry, with no way out.

This episode isn’t for children or the faint of heart, but it is essential listening. Selena’s story will open your eyes to what’s happening in our own backyard—and you will see how God has reclaimed Selena’s story; she has been rescued and restored. You will also hear about ways to protect your family and how you can be part of the solution.
