In this episode of MercyCast, I talk with with Morgan Gleason, Assistant Executive Director of Pillars of Hope, an anti-trafficking nonprofit in the Bay Area. We discuss Morgan's journey from intern to her current role, the importance of direct services in supporting trafficking survivors, and the emotional toll of working in this field. We also delve into the definition of human trafficking, the misconceptions surrounding it, and how individuals can educate themselves and take action to support those affected by trafficking.
Highlights and takeaways from the conversation:
Pillars of Hope provides direct services to trafficking survivors.
Morgan's journey highlights the importance of internships in finding one's path.
Direct services involve working hand-in-hand with survivors to empower them.
Empowerment is key; survivors must make their own choices to change their lives.
The emotional toll of working in anti-trafficking is significant and requires self-care.
Human trafficking is often misunderstood; it is modern-day slavery.
Education about human trafficking is crucial for community awareness.
Many trafficking cases involve familial relationships, not just strangers.
The importance of humility and learning in the nonprofit sector.
Building relationships with survivors is essential for effective support.
