Why People Solicit Sex
Reducing the demand for sex starts with understanding why people solicit sex in the first place. Chris Stollar, author + educator, joins us on this week's episode to share an inside look at what he has learned from participants who go through She Has A Name's Solicitor Education Program.
Chris also shares a story from Ryan, a Solicitor Education Program graduate, and tells how the program helped Ryan find a new desire to help fight human trafficking.
We hope this episode leaves you thinking about demand reduction in a different light.
