As someone who works to engage men and specifically fathers in the prevention of human trafficking, I really appreciated the insights in Elise Ureneck’s July 1 cover article, “How to save men.” 

I have been doing trainings on the link between pornography and trafficking for years now. The article references the 2,000 hours a year 7 million men spend on their screens, and too much of that is spent on porn, which is dismembering families and castrating faith at an alarming rate. 

Men are losing their identity as God’s children, their moral authority, and their credibility in ways that are leaving children vulnerable to social media predators and traffickers.
