The song is streaming everywhere at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/offstep.link\/449386378502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/offstep.link\/449386378502<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI resonate with it as someone who hasn\u2019t gone through that kind of abuse but really empathizes with any kind of abuse that people go through,\u201d shares Matt Sassano, whose last single \u201cHappy Family\u201d uncovered his own experience of growing up in a home with domestic violence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always digging deep as a songwriter, Sassano was committed to doing the subject of human trafficking justice. He says, \u201cI\u2019ve been working with Mary Nikkel of The Exodus Road, who works with survivors directly. She educated me on a whole host of issues leading up to this release. Often when you think about trafficking, you get the Hollywood version in your mind: Liam Neeson and&nbsp;<em>Taken<\/em>, someone swept in a van and never heard from again. Although those cases do happen, it\u2019s usually actually a friend or a family member or a loved one manipulating someone into slavery of some sort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To bring the song\u2019s empowering tone to life, Matt Sassano collaborated with producer Josiah Prince (Disciple). \u201cViolated\u201d was mixed and mastered by Kevin Jackson, who Sassano worked closely with for \u201cHappy Family.\u201d With a strong team behind it, \u201cViolated\u201d is a worthy successor to Matt Sassano\u2019s uninterrupted string of #1 tracks at rock radio, a list that has included \u201cFuel,\u201d \u201cDear God\u201d and \u201cNot My Name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRather than focus on the victimization of these people, we wanted to focus on survivor stories,\u201d Matt Sassano says earnestly. \u201cEverything that we did was to honor their stories, from the artwork to the lyrics. It was all carefully crafted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the United Nations, \u201ctrafficking occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his\/her will. Force, fraud, or coercion need not be present if the individual engaging in commercial sex is under 18 years of age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think that you or someone you love might be experiencing trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or chat live at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/humantraffickinghotline.org\/en\/chat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">humantraffickinghotline.org\/en\/chat<\/a>.
