Marta Barreto's story begins in the darkest of places — years of sexual abuse by members of her own family. That early trauma set off a chain reaction: addiction, exploitation, and eventually prostitution and prison. A cycle that traps millions of people worldwide and that very few manage to escape. In this episode, Marta opens up to Mariana about the psychological mechanisms behind exploitation — the vulnerability predators seek out, the control they exercise, and the barriers that make it nearly impossible for victims to break free. She also talks candidly about her time in prison, and what incarceration looks like when the system fails to address the root causes of why people end up there.
