The Freedom Story ·

2022/11/03

November 3rd, 2022 - While news articles about child trafficking, human trafficking, and sex trafficking are likely to be fairly accurate in the details of what they report, they have a tendency to emphasize particular angles or perspectives. Over time, this might lead to a certain understanding that, while not wrong, might be incomplete. Let’s take a look at what regular readers of the news might glean about trafficking – and what might be missed. Listen to learn more. News article: Little Rock man

September 29th, 2022 - There's something you should know about sugar–specifically the sugar industry from the Dominican Republic, which is the source of a lot of sugar in America, under brand names such as Domino, Florida Crystals, C&H Sugar, and Tate & Lyle.

What We Don’t Know About Traffickers

2022/09/22

September 15th, 2022 - There’s still so much we don’t know about traffickers. Too much attention about trafficking is still heavily focused on how much trafficking there is when, really, if we want to bring an end to trafficking, we need to know a lot more about who traffickers are, how they got there, and why.

Trafficking to Cambodia

The Freedom Story ·

2022/09/15

September 15th, 2022 - There has been a rise in trafficking, whereby people are lured by job offers for positions in call centers or similar ventures, but then find themselves trafficked to Cambodia, subjected to beatings, torture, enslavement, and sometimes even killed. They are forced to work incredibly long hours for crime syndicates and they are forced to perpetuate online scams. Listen to learn more.

Reframing Migration

The Freedom Story ·

2022/09/09

September 8th, 2022 - Migration gets a bad rap. Even those who support migrants’ rights tend to focus on the problems: irregular migration, undocumented migration, the dangers of trafficking, and migration’s negative impacts on those who migrate and their families, and on origin and destination countries. In this week’s episode, we take a closer look at the beneficial aspects of migration–and its inevitability. Reframing migration can help us better cope with its impact and better support the people

The Freedom Story ·

2022/08/25

August 25th, 2022 - This year’s Trafficking in Persons Report expressly calls out corruption for its linkage to trafficking, going so far as to cite a UNODC report that argues trafficking in persons could not happen on a large scale if it weren’t for corruption.

2022/08/18

August 18th, 2022 - This year’s TIP Report highlights the looming threat of climate change and its links to vulnerability to human trafficking. Climate change-related disasters disproportionately impact people who are already vulnerable to trafficking, and as environmental conditions get worse, more people will be impacted. It's estimated that human trafficking has the potential to increase by 20-30% at the hand of humanitarian disasters causing lost livelihoods and disrupted families. Listen to

Today, we’re zooming in on this year's TIP Report's Special Focus on how governments can act as traffickers.

Trafficking in the News

The Freedom Story ·

2022/07/22

July 21st, 2022 - The latest in the news about human trafficking is a great illustration of the breadth of extremes this crime touches. Recent revelations about an Olympic athlete’s background as a child trafficking victim come concurrently with news reports about a large network of Rohingya girl victims trafficked from Bangladesh to India. As the former gains intense media attention, the hope is that it might shine a light on the plight of so many others who suffer similarly. Listen to learn

Urban Fragility and Why It Matters

The Freedom Story ·

2022/07/14

July 14th, 2022 - As people move from rural areas to cities in the hopes of escaping climate-related disasters and finding more stable jobs and income, it is expected that the influx of people can strain cities’ infrastructures and resources. If cities are unprepared to handle the influx, it can lead to strife, conflict, violence, and crime–a situation likely to be ripe for traffickers to exploit. Urban fragility, therefore, is something to pay close attention to, to think holistically about how to

The Overlooked Victims of Trafficking: Families

The Freedom Story ·

2022/06/23

June 23rd, 2022 - Anti-trafficking intervention and aftercare services tend to be almost exclusively centered on the victims, which seems natural, understandable, and correct. What this overlooks, however, is the impact on their families–the people whose father, mother, sister, brother, or child has gone missing, and who may not know where to turn for help. These people are often overlooked and sidelined, though the trauma they experience, too, is very real. Listen to learn more. Welcome to The
