@joselewisalfaro.bsky.social has spoken courageously about #sextrafficking of boys. He told @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social that bias & discrimination increase the vulnerability of LGBTQ+ communities to exploitation. Read: www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/gay-boys-a...

Being a survivor of human trafficking I can say that LGBTQ+ organizations are the least likely to be engaged and have conversations about how our community is disproportionately impacted. I wonder why? Happy Pride Month. 🌈

Thank you Adelante Program at BIDMC Health & Brigham & Women's Hospital for inviting Martina Vandenberg & @joselewisalfaro.bsky.social to speak about #traffickingsurvivors seeking healthcare. It's an honor to meet the Adelante staff, who are providing essential services to #survivors.

"Now the silencing is coming from our U.S. government." Survivor of sex trafficking and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community says the Trump administration is erasing victims from federal human trafficking report. @gbhnews.bsky.social www.wgbh.org/news/news-pr...

#LGBTQIA+ individuals are particularly at risk of #ModernSlavery due to their marginalisation and the tragic reality of being forced from home by unaccepting family. @unitedwayworldwide.bsky.social reports that LGBTQIA+ youth are 13× more at-risk for homelessness, adding to the risk of #trafficking.

The U.S. State Department 2025 #TIPReport will remove information about LGBTQ #trafficking victims, despite the community’s higher risk for exploitation. This harms all survivors. We applaud our Board member Jose Alfaro for speaking out against this policy. www.wgbh.org/news/news-pr...

I am rewatching "The Handmaid's Tale" in hopes of gaining insights from June's experiences. You know. Just in case?
