274 – USA Today Women of the Year Honoree, Ashleigh Chapman

Sandie Morgan and Ashleigh Chapman take a deep dive into all the work Ashleigh has been doing through her various organizations, how her team is developing tools to identify and fill the gaps, and connecting organizations across the nation to collaborate with one another.

Ashleigh Chapman

Ashleigh Chapman has a Law Degree from Regent University and was recently named USA Today’s Women of the Year honoree from Wyoming, and has spent her entire career working to end human trafficking across the world. She runs a variety of organizations, including Altus Solutions, a “business for good” founded in Wyoming that powers solutions to end trafficking; the Alliance for Freedom, Restoration and Justice, a non-profit that’s connected more than 10,000 anti-trafficking advocates across the world; and Justice U, an online learning platform where “students” can learn the basics of how to identify human trafficking.

Key Points

We are in a transition of awareness education to specific education on how we all play a role in ending human trafficking.

Developing new tools for impact analysis so organizations can understand the impact of their activities and identify where the gaps are.

More awareness is being given to the intersectionality between missing and murdered indigenous women and human trafficking.

We need to address human trafficking with a high level of excellence so those receiving services are getting the best from our non-profits, government agencies, social workers, law enforcement, etc.
