August 15, 2020 How COVID19 effects human trafficking
Human trafficking is a global crime which even in pre-pandemic times is extremely challenging to stop. So how has COVID impacted the work that The Salvation Army are doing to fight against it? What new risks does COVID bring to people who are vulnerable to being trafficked, and to survivors of trafficking? Listen to Tribeni, Toluwanimi and Anne from The Salvation Army’s Anti Trafficking & Modern Slavery Unit speak about how this crucial work continues despite the challenges of COVID19.

Host: Ben Gilbert (Team Leader – International Projects, UKI Territory)
Guests: Tribeni Gurung, Toluwanimi Jaiyebo & Anne Gregora (Anti Trafficking & Modern Slavery Unit, UKI Territory)

July 15, 2020 How is The Salvation Army responding to COVID19 around the world?
We are used to disasters, but not global pandemics. The Salvation Army regularly responds to localised disasters such as earthquakes or floods. Typically this would involve the local Salvation Army setting up a response which would be supported by other Salvation Army territories through funding and technical support. What about a global pandemic, when every country is dealing with it on their own? Listen to this conversation with Damaris Frick (Emergencies Coordinator at IHQ) as she explains how The Salvation Army is responding and some of the key lessons we can take with us when we come out on the other side!

Host: Ben Gilbert (Team Leader for International Projects, UKI Territory)

June 10, 2020 Can a resilience approach transform how we work in communities?
The term resilience is everywhere. But what does it really mean? It’s a word that is neither positive or negative. It can describe how easily a community might bounce back after a disaster. It can also describe the resurgence of a terrorist group! But what is it exactly, and why would taking “a resilience approach” be important to The Salvation Army? Capt Ben Cotterill reflects on his experience in the UK as a Corps Officer and relates this to his work in International Development, highlighting some of the steps we can take to embed a resilience approach in the way we work as an organisation across the world.

April 15, 2020 Are We Perfectly Positioned to Respond to the Pandemic?
The Salvation Army is currently present in 131 countries. The breadth of work and contexts in which it operates is enormous. So how do we stay connected and true to our core mission values despite having to operate in a multitude of cultural contexts and languages? Listen to Elise Belcher reflect on the role of the International Headquarters in coordinating the territorial responses around the globe. And especially during disasters - can we utilise The Salvation Army networks which are deeply embedded in local knowledge and understanding to respond effectively to communities that are most effected?

February 28, 2020 Should Charities do Business Instead of Aid?
Behind every product you buy is a story. A story of people who were linked to your purchase through a supply chain. In today's global market the constant drive for profit can lead in many instances, to people being exploited by low wages and poor working conditions. OTHERS is The Salvation Army's response to this. Listen to Bo Chris Brekke explain how producers are recruited through The Salvation Army’s local programmes in countries such as Bangladesh and what a difference OTHERS can make in the lives of people who make these products. The main goal of OTHERS is creating employment - but how easy is it to make that a reality?Music by Wesley Carroll.
