Interview: Raped on the Porn Set

As part of White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) week, our friends at Covenant Eyes are helping to lift the veil on the injustice of porn.  So too is Shelley Lubben of the Pink Cross Foundation.  In this post from the Breaking Free blog, Shelley interviews Victoria about her violent and degrading experience working in the porn industry.  It is a message that people need to hear as porn becomes more normalized and glamorized, and as more people accept the lie that “these women like it.”

“I did not enjoy making porn.  It was a big act.”  Victoria, on her time in the sex industry

Laura Lederer Connects the Dots

We are privileged to call Laura Lederer a friend.  She is the founder of Global Centurion, and for years has been on the front lines of the battle against sex trafficking, pornography, violence against women, and sexual exploitation generally.  She is smart and fearless, two necessary traits in this line of work.

At the CONVERGENCE Summit we hosted this April in Baltimore, Laura convincingly connected the dots between pornography, sexualized culture, and sex trafficking for the audience of over 200 leaders from across the country.  Watch her brief presentation, and also listen to our interview with her this summer in partnership with Covenant Eyes.
