For the past several years the week leading up to the Kentucky Derby has been a time when law enforcement and the medical community shine a light on the issue of human trafficking a modern-day form of slavery in which adults and children are forced into sex or labor services.  Human trafficking victims are often the most marginalized in society – victims of abuse and violence, runaways, refugees, immigrants or those who are homeless.  Dr. Greg’s guest this week is Eileen Levy, executive director of the Well of Lexington, a non-profit agency that provides safe housing, recovery support, education and healing for women and children exploited by sex trafficking.
