Benjamin Nolot (CEO/Founder, Exodus Cry) and Laila Mickelwait (Director of Abolition, Exodus Cry) discuss the way that William Wilberforce changed the popular narrative about slavery and how Victor Hugo identified an unfinished work regarding prostitution. They also talk about the connections between sex trafficking and the prostitution industry.
