On this episode of EmpowHER, Tanya Dempsey and Nicole Graham sit down with Korin Hoffman-Arkin, Director of Survivor Care and Outreach at The Polaris Project, to discuss the realities of human trafficking and the systems that shape survivor outcomes.
With over a decade of experience in the anti-trafficking field, Corinne shares insights from her work on the National Human Trafficking Hotline, her approach to survivor-centered care, and the broader structural challenges that make this issue complex and persistent.

In this episode, they discuss:
- The definition of human trafficking and how it differs from common misconceptions
- The realities of hotline work and supporting survivors in real time
- How survivors exit trafficking and the importance of community support
