Summary

In this harrowing testimony, Lisa Diaz recounts being trapped in a 37-year cycle of abuse. Born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, she suffered sexual abuse from a very young age—from her caregiver’s partner to later abuse by her stepfather—and was further exploited through trafficking and forced prostitution. Over the years, she endured domestic violence, drug addiction, and a profound loss of self-worth that led to incarceration and deep-seated trauma. With immense courage and by seeking help, she broke free from this cycle. Today, Lisa has transformed her life; she co-founded Redemption House of the Bay Area and now works as a lead human trafficking caseworker, using her experience to educate others about the red flags of trafficking and abuse.
