Human trafficking is one of the world’s largest criminal industries. It’s a form of human slavery, often a form of sexual exploitation, and it happens everywhere, even in Iowa. 

During this episode of Unsettled: Mapping #MeToowe hear from Christina Glackin, who is by all measures a survivor. During this interview, she talks about being starved, drugged and forced to have sex with men for someone else's profit. 

If you suspect human traffciking in your area, report it. Call 888-373-7888 or text 233-733.
