Human trafficking happens every day in neighborhoods across the state and it goes barely noticed.
SAN MATEO -- Human trafficking happens every day in neighborhoods across the state and it goes barely noticed, but woman who spent more than a decade trapped in that world is now doing something about it.
"The first one was a boyfriend, we call that 'Romeo pimping,' the second one was a woman and I thought she was my friend," explains Quiroz. "And my third trafficker was my drug dealer.""I was a drug runner, so he would give me a large amount of drugs to sell for him, and so every time I would get arrested for the drugs I would have to do my time and get out and then be in debt," Quiroz said.
For more than a decade, Quiroz was in and out of prison, where the cycle would repeat itself over and over again. Until, something inspired her to make a change. "She was this young girl and she was just so under the influence of drugs and then I looked at her charges and I just thought 'oh no, she is going down a really bad path,'" Corpus told KPIX. "I learned of the really challenging childhood that she had."
Quiroz then went onto Sonoma State to earn her bachelors in Sociology. Now she is working towards her masters in Social Justice and Human Rights that she will complete this spring. that she started with another survivor, Lisa Diaz-McQuaid, she connects to women who don't know any other way.
