The Limits of Awareness Raising

The Freedom Story ·

2022/06/16

June 16th, 2022 - When anti-trafficking organizations first started thinking about what prevention might look like, the biggest component was awareness-raising. The idea was to reach as many people as possible and warn them about trafficking by telling them what it is, how it can happen, and how to report it. It's essential. But time and experience have shown that it isn’t enough. Listen to learn more. Welcome to The Freedom Story podcast where we bring you our weekly updates, in audio version. For

2022/06/09

June 9th, 2022 - People from across the anti-trafficking field are finding multitudinous ways to study trafficking. While we still might not have a lot of very precise data, we are coming at the data problem from a variety of angles–and that might end up giving us a fuller understanding of the picture than we would if we rested on one or two more precise measures alone.

Why Implementing Laws Against Trafficking is a Challenge

The Freedom Story ·

2022/06/02

June 2nd, 2022 - For the most part, laws against trafficking, labor abuses, and child sexual exploitation exist. While it’s true that some legal frameworks could be strengthened, a large part of the problem has less to do with the existence or lack of laws and more to do with a breakdown in implementing them.

Emerging Trend: Thais Trafficked For Online Gambling

The Freedom Story ·

2022/05/19

May 19th, 2022 - We’ve talked about how COVID increases the risk of trafficking. We have also talked about the rise of online sexual exploitation. In the last six months or so, these two challenges coalesced into a new form of trafficking and exploitation. A growing number of Thai nationals are being trafficked to neighboring countries and forced to perform labor for places like call centers and illegal online gambling sites. Listen to learn more.

Kids As Traffickers

The Freedom Story ·

2022/05/12

May 12th, 2022 - When we think of child trafficking, we generally assume the trafficker is an older adult who preys on minors. That has typically been the case, with ages primarily ranging from traffickers in their 20s to in their 60s. However, our peers in the anti-trafficking field in South East Asia have reported that they are seeing an emerging trend of younger people becoming involved – as perpetrators. Listen to learn more.

The Stakes of Trafficking are Rising

The Freedom Story ·

2022/05/04

May 3rd, 2022 - Trafficking is already a horrific, damaging, and traumatizing experience. Unfortunately, there are dynamics in play now that are making it worse – not just in the sense that the amount of trafficking is increasing, but that new challenges contribute to the damage trafficking can cause. In the past two years, COVID measures like lockdowns, quarantines, and travel restrictions did not reduce the incidence of trafficking. Listen to learn more.

Understanding Trafficking As a Spectrum

2022/04/07

April 7th, 2022 - For the sake of ease, discussion about trafficking tends to revolve around categories: labor trafficking, child trafficking, sex trafficking, etc. Another way to think of trafficking is as part of a spectrum of abuse and exploitation (concept courtesy of a legal training hosted by The Remedy Project, USAID Asia CTIP, andUSAID Thailand CTIP).

Middle Class Women Turning to Online Sex Work

The Freedom Story ·

2022/03/17

March 17th, 2022 - Highly educated, middle-class women have been turning online to social media to earn money in exchange for explicit photos and videos of themselves. Oftentimes, they cite being saddled with enormous debts from student loans and not enough income from “normal jobs” as the impetus behind jumping on a quick way to get out from under the mountain of debt. There is an element of glamorizing it too, with lures of being able to afford luxury goods. Listen to learn more. Welcome to The

2022/03/03

March 3rd, 2022 - Tuesday, March 8 is International Women’s Day! This year, the theme is “Break the Bias” and the call is for us all to help create a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. This goal is especially important for us, as we continue in our mission to prevent child trafficking. In our experience, discrimination renders marginalized people even more vulnerable to trafficking or makes it harder for them to access help if they have become victims of exploitation. Listen to

Latest Updates From Our Work on the Ground

2022/02/24

February 24th, 2022 - As we shared last week, traffickers are capitalizing on opportunities the pandemic presents. Trafficking has not diminished, so we believe it is more important than ever to focus on prevention. We must address all the factors that push or lure people into risky situations or leave them unprotected if they are trafficked. Research shows that prevention programs are most effective when combining awareness-raising with actual material support. Listen to learn more. Welcome to The

February 17th, 2022 - It might be tempting to hope that lockdowns, social distancing measures, travel restrictions, and fear of illness would have curbed trafficker activity.

How anti-trafficking organizations are adapting to...

The Freedom Story ·

2022/02/10

February 3rd, 2022 - At the beginning of the pandemic, you may remember, there were predictions that we would see an increase in trafficking, as well as instances of other kinds of abuse, like domestic violence. Meanwhile, service providers, like shelters, would be hampered in their ability to help their clients or respond to increased demand, especially in lockdown situations. As we’ve talked about before, these predictions have largely turned out to be true. However, now in our third year of this

COVID & Child Labor

2022/02/03

February 3rd, 2022 - For nearly two decades, the use of child labor had been on a very promising downward trend. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis has reversed it. While child labor had been decreasing since the year 2000, a UNICEF report released last June states that the number of children engaged in child labor has now risen to 160 million worldwide. The report further warns that, “globally, 9 million additional children are at risk of being pushed into child labour by the end of 2022 as a

Maxwell / Epstein Case in Context

2022/01/27

January 27th, 2022 - After years of allegations and prolonged intense media attention, the Ghislaine Maxwell trial finally ended in conviction last month. Because it received so much public attention, it might be helpful to put this case in context, to shed light on sex trafficking–both in how it aligns with how most cases of trafficking happen and also in how it was strikingly different.
