An article was recently published in the Duluth News Tribune about a Minnesota couple that was caught driving to Duluth with plans to sexually exploit a teenage girl.

In light of this article, we sought out Shunu Shrestha, trafficking program coordinator at PAVSA in Duluth, to help us become more aware of the issue of sex trafficking in the Twin Ports. 

Shrestha shares what PAVSA does, how they help victims and how they can support victims' parents and family members.
