Manage episode 437955429 series 3422694
Human trafficking is a global crisis, affecting millions of children, women, and men who are exploited for their bodies and labor. It’s modern-day slavery, happening in every corner of the world, and it’s growing at an alarming rate.
To dive deeper into this issue, Rachel sat down for an incredible conversation with Natalie from A21 , one of the largest organizations fighting human trafficking. A21 operates in 19 countries and is dedicated to combating trafficking through prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnership.
Natalie shared crucial insights into what human trafficking really is and how each of us can play a role in fighting it. Human trafficking isn’t just a problem in far-off countries; it’s happening in our own communities. It affects boys, girls, women, and men, regardless of age or background. Which is why it’s so important for each of us to be aware of the signs and know how to respond.
