Marisol Nichols dives deep into the ‘Safer Streets for All Act’ in the state of California and how the state has turned into a 'safe haven’ for exploiters and traffickers to take advantage of vulnerable women, children, and the trans community. This calls for legislators to reevaluate this newly enacted law, as it does more harm than good to potential victims of trafficking. This is because law enforcement has their hands tied, leaving cases of such crimes unchecked. While California is a state full of dreams for many, for others who are trafficked and subjected to this current horrific law, it is also a place of nightmares. Like the show?

HRH Princess Eugenie, co-founder of The Anti-Slavery Collective, shares the inspiration behind the organization's inception: encounters with survivors of modern slavery. A significant event was meeting a woman in Kolkata, India in 2012 who rescues and supports trafficked women by providing employment opportunities.

With a shared vision of eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking, Princess Eugenie and Julia founded The Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017.
