Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The media focus on missing girls of color in D.C. has put a spotlight on another issue: juvenile victims of sex trafficking. Young people who leave home voluntarily are at a very high risk of exploitation and sex trafficking. And advocates say these victims of sex trafficking are often victimized again by the criminal justice system, which criminalizes those who engage in the sex trade, even those who are underage and coerced. We explore the issues and how authorities are trying to change their approach to these cases.
