Chris Bates attends an event he helped organize in Worcester. He worked with the city to turn on blue lights, part of a national campaign to raise awareness about sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

Sadly, human beings have a long history of trafficking and exploiting poor and vulnerable people. On The Point, G.B.H. News Center's senior investigative reporters Phillip Martin and Jenifer McKim join us to discuss how Massachusetts fits into the global and national trafficking web. Their latest series is titled Unseen- The Boy Victims of the Sex Trade.
We also talk with the following local activists, police, and a survivor of human trafficking about at-risk populations on the Cape and Islands, warning signs, and what we can do to prevent exploitation.
