Murrells Inlet, SC - Betty Houbion is a human sex trafficking educator, advocate, and one of the most influential voices in raising awareness. Betty’s unwavering mission is making certain that one day we will eliminate the horrors of human trafficking and she will not stop until this has been accomplished. Thanks to Betty’s incredible perseverance South Carolina has become one of the highest-ranking human trafficking laws in the country.  Although it took three years to get it passed, Betty managed to draft laws for South Carolina in 2012 when legislature passed the human trafficking laws unanimously into law, part of which South Carolina can seize all assets of that convicted trafficker, and if a business owner is convicted  their money is confiscated and the business is closed down and liquidated. The State of South Caroline can seize all assets regardless of location.

The horrifying ways people are used in trafficking include forced labor, forced marriage, and sexual exploitation including prostitution. The poor and the most vulnerable are generally the most at risk and the most population that is preyed upon by traffickers.

In Betty’s eagerly anticipated 2-part radio series she will discuss the reality of human trafficking, her continued fight to continue to bring awareness that is both eye opening and truthful. Betty will go over books written and harrowing real life accounts that are disturbing, heart wrenching, and a triumph of human resilience and survival.
