In Trafficked, a podcast from WYSO Public Radio, reporter Leila Goldstein weaves together the voices of advocates vying for limited resources, exasperated researchers trying to correct falsehoods and trafficking survivors who have made their way out. The series cuts through the misinformation about human trafficking to find out what happens when we get the story wrong.Series art by Kayla Freeman-Haynes

But there are also experts who argue that this approach incorrectly conflates sex work with human trafficking and can even make people more vulnerable to being trafficked. In the fourth episode of WYSO’s Trafficked, Leila Goldstein reports from the streets of Columbus, Ohio.
