In this episode of Stop Child Abuse Now, survivor and professional Nissi Hamilton shares her powerful story and insights into the complex world of child abuse and human trafficking. Born to an adolescent mother who was herself a victim of sexual trafficking, Nissi’s early life was marked by profound challenges.
