Addiction is not consent. The Diddy case illustrates how our federal anti-trafficking laws have not fully caught up with the evolving tactics of traffickers, particularly when it comes to drug-based coercion.

The Diddy case illustrates how our federal anti-trafficking laws have not fully caught up with the evolving tactics of traffickers, particularly when it comes to drug-based coercion.

If a fist counts as force, and lies count as fraud, why don’t drugs count as coercion? Supporting trafficking survivors means changing the law to include substance use as a form of coercion. #AddictionIsCoercion #HumanTrafficking Full podcast: youtu.be/pIWiViMLaWU


In the law, “coercion” doesn’t include the use of drugs, but many traffickers use substances to keep victims under their control. It’s time to change the law to reflect how trafficking situations actually happen. #AddictionIsCoercion #HumanTrafficking ▶️ youtu.be/pIWiViMLaWU


We’re proud to highlight the recent work of survivor and advocate Dr. Nissi Hamilton: 🎥 dvidshub.net/video/960542/ *The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.


P Diddy’s alleged tactics are not unique. Drug-based coercion is more common than you might think. #DrugCoercion #TraffickingReality #PDiddy youtu.be/pIWiViMLaWU


Diddy’s case may shock you. But for survivors, this tactic isn’t new. It’s common. And still ignored by the law. Watch the full podcast: youtu.be/pIWiViMLaWU #DrugCoercion #TraffickingReality #PDiddy


Drug-based coercion isn’t an accident. It’s calculated. #AddictionIsCoercion #HumanTrafficking Learn more: youtu.be/pIWiViMLaWU
