S8E5: “Human Trafficking” with Katie Boller Gosewisch, Executive Director of the Alliance to End Human Trafficking


Listen Later

We are pleased to welcome Katie Boller Gosewisch, the Executive Director of the Alliance to End Human Trafficking. The Alliance is a collaborative, faith-based network that raises awareness of human trafficking, supports access to survivor services, and engages in advocacy efforts. It was founded in 2013 by religious sisters and continues to include over 200+ congregations of Catholic Sisters among its members. Katie is not a religious sister herself, but she was drawn to the mission of the Alliance. She talks about what human trafficking is and what it looks like in our country. She reflects on its shocking prevalence throughout the US and the need for raising more awareness of the issue. She also draws the connection between trafficking and forced migration.

Brian and Joe reflect on cases of human trafficking that they have encountered in their ministry. Joe shares the cases of Ximena and Yuliet who were both trafficked during their migrant journey. He draws the important distinction between “human trafficking” and “human smuggling,” which too often get conflated and misunderstood. Brian talks about the unaccompanied minors that he has prayed with over the past few years, and the government's deliberate efforts to ensure their safety and prevent their exploitation in the US.
