Invading the Darkness: Stories from the Fight against Child Sex Trafficking

by

Welcome to Invading the Darkness: stories from the fight against child sex trafficking in the United States. This podcast features Linda Smith, the founder of Shared Hope International, sharing stories from her 23 years of fighting the battle of domestic minor sex trafficking.

In 2025, “Invading the Darkness” will introduce a video element to its podcast, featuring hosts Yvonne and Kim, who are survivors of sex trafficking and advocates for the Just Like Me campaign.

Yvonne and Kim will share their life experiences, insights, and narratives from other survivors.

Our desire is that each episode will help you better understand the importance of fighting child sexual exploitation in the United States.
