Human Trafficking


Listen Later

There are an estimated 20 - 40 MILLION people in modern slavery around the globe today. 

Isn't that mind-blowing?! This week's episode is a deep dive into human trafficking. It's on everyone's radar, but it's not talked about enough.

Veronica intensely researched and provides listeners with myths, legislation background and hard-hitting numbers on this terrible tragedy hitting families around the world. Brittany offers practical tips (especially as a mom of two little girls!) and insight on training she's received to battle human trafficking.

If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, please reach out to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline by calling 1-888-373-7888 or text "BeFree" to 233733.

- Operation Underground Railroad, ourrescue.org // @ourrescue 


FACT CHECK:

- Veronica made a comment that 20 million people could be a Denmark, however, the population of Denmark is around 5.8 million people, so that would be approximately 3.4 Denmarks.
- Brittany also commented that 20 million people could be a few state of Indiana's, and she is correct. Indiana's population is approximately 6.7 million people, so that would equate about 2.9 Indiana's.
