Boys and CSEC

In this episode, we explore an often overlooked but critical conversation: the commercial sexual exploitation of boys. Joined by Russell G. Wilson, we discuss why boys are so often left out of the narrative and the unique barriers they may face in being seen, supported, and believed. This conversation highlights what caregivers, providers, and community members should understand about vulnerability, identification, and support for boys impacted by exploitation. We also discuss signs to look for and how we can better respond through prevention, intervention, and healing. Later in the episode, we answer common caregiver questions about the exploitation of boys and what meaningful support can look like.
