Vanessa Russell, Founder of Love Never Fails in California. Love Never Fails formed in December 2011 after the Founder's teenage dance student experienced human trafficking in the SF Bay Area. They are committed to the well-being of all youth and driven to restore, educate and protect them from sex trafficking.

Their approach addresses a survivor's needs on their journey to safety and wholeness. On a call Vanessa and I were both on with World Without Exploitation, I learned through hearing her share that there is a push to legalize sex work in San Francisco, California and to have red light districts.

This episode we are going to talk about the work I do to prevent sex trafficking and domestic violence.

I, Adrienne Livingston, am a co-developer of the Girl Empowerment Curriculum along with Michele Lathrop. We created this curriculum to serve as a resource for churches, Christian schools and nonprofits to use to educate and address the underlying issues that impact girls today and make them vulnerable to the lures of traffickers and pimps. The curriculum includes discussing our image in God, our identity, personal boundaries, intuition, red flags, using our voice, healthy and unhealthy relationship characteristics, safety planning, basic physical self-defense, and more! We've been invited to share this curriculum resource with secular communities as well.

Prevention is a public health approach that complements a criminal justice approach to preventing and ending human trafficking [1].
