In this episode, Elly Arrow speaks to Izabella about her childhood in Romania, her traumatic youth and young adulthood that led her into commercial sexual exploitation, the reality of legal brothels in Austria and Switzerland, and experiencing the Swedish response to prostitution, which ultimately made it possible for her to exit and rebuild her life. Today Izabella works for Talita, a Swedish organization focused on supporting women in leaving and recovering from the trauma of sexual exploitation, assisting other women in walking the path she once tread, and is a voice for Romanian women fighting back against commercialized sexual abuse.
