Show notes
Sandra Morgan and Dave Stachowiak reflect on the anti-smoking campaign in the U.S. and how we can learn and use from successful public health campaigns to end human trafficking.
Key Points
Normalization of language and behavior shape's society's perception of what is accepted.
More research on the links between pornography and child sexual abuse and the economic cost of child sexual abuse and sex trafficking is needed to understand the long-term harms of sexual exploitation.
Appreciation of the lessons from past public health campaigns can help us learn how to end human trafficking.

Transcript
Dave 00:00
You're listening to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. This is episode number 24, airing in March 2012.
Dave 00:07
Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. My name is Dave Stachowiak.
Sandra Morgan 00:28
And I'm Sandie Morgan.
Dave 00:29
And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Sandie, did that all sound coherent? That what I just said.
Sandra Morgan 00:41
Oh, yeah, that was great.
Dave 00:42
Okay, good. Because we have a newborn here at our house who's two weeks old, and so I'm only going on a limited amount of sleep before this episode here today. So for you and the audience, if there's anything that I say that does not sound coherent, that's because I became a parent.
Sandra Morgan 01:00
He's a new daddy, and I already got hold Luke Stachowiak. And, you know, that really makes me even more motivated to address the subject that we're going to talk about today.
Dave 01:13
Which is why I was thinking about it, Sandie. As we were just talking before the show here and prepping our notes, you do look at these things differently as a parent and through the eyes and the lens of a parent than I think that we do when we're not parents. And thinking about the messages that we send to kids and the importance of learning early, both on a positive and a negative side. And we're going to talk about that a bunch today.
Sandra Morgan 01:42
Well, and the whole idea of development strategies for raising kids because their brains and all these things that we feed into them, because it really is what you put in is what you get out.
Dave 01:53
Yeah. So what are we going to discuss today, because I knew you have a whole bunch of things here?
Sandra Morgan 01:59
I really want listeners today-- I know you listen sometimes when you're driving, so if you're driving, don't pay attention right now. But if you're not, please get a pen and paper out. Because I'd like you to brainstorm with us as we go through this podcast today. We're going to revisit prevention and community engagement. And at the end of this, I would love to get emails at [email protected] or call us at
Dave 02:32
714-966-6361. We just changed the number recently.
Sandra Morgan 02:35
I know, we just changed the number. I never call myself.
Dave 02:39
Yeah, right, exactly. And so again, that number is 714-966-6361. And by the way, we'll have links to this in the show notes. So if you're on the road and listening to this, you can always hop on to the website later and check us out there.
Sandra Morgan 02:53
So when we look at prevention, I want us to start with our basic understanding. Early on, we talked about the law of supply and demand, and look at the things we know that are part of driving supply and driving demand with regard to sex trafficking in specific. And so a couple of those things that drive demand, Dave.
Dave 03:18
Yeah, a couple of them that we have talked about here this morning, Sandie,
