FREEDOM WARRIORS On IG Live #4 Lynn Shaw

Lynn Shaw is the Founder and President of Lynn’s Warriors; an organization committed to ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation by raising awareness through grassroots mobilization, advocacy, education and policy. Lynn’s passion, commitment and involvement with anti-human trafficking efforts makes her one of my favorite warriors in the anti-Trafficking space.

In this live we talk about:
-Hollywood and the entertainment industry and how the cycle of sexual exploitation continues and enables sex trafficking
-the effects of entertainment & social media programming on young minds AND how we can protect children from being groomed and exploited. Did you know Instagram is developing a social media platform for young children!?
-Have you seen the documentary “Childhood 2.0”? This is a must watch for parents who want to protect their kids online and understand what is happening psychologically to our youth with skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, suicide, porn addiction, sextortion and online exploitation. I shared parts of this documentary with my 12 year old and it changed her perspective about social media. It’s one thing to explain the damaging effects of social media to kids and it’s another to allow them to see a film that expresses statistics in an artistic way that resonates while they actually witness the damaging effects on kids through their own words and experiences. It’s a game changer for conversations on social media with your pre-teen/teens.
