These charges have dominated the headlines, but some of the ways the allegations are frequently described may do even more harm to the victims, as GEN by Medium senior writer Andrea González-Ramírez explains in the following interview with CBSN. 1/ cbsnews.com/video/how-to-t…
Our expert on sex trafficking, Joyce McCauley-Benner, agrees: "If media used consistent, victim-protective language, instead of victim-blaming (example of 'falling into his trap' was spot on), we would start to shift the sociocultural consciousness of what will be tolerated. 2/

“In conjunction with the event, the March for Life organization produced a series of articles highlighting how the earliest feminists in the U.S. — suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, & Alice Paul — opposed abortion, calling it an exploitation of women.”
