"In our eye-opening episode, we confront the harsh reality of modern slavery as revealed by a sobering 2022 report from the International Labor Organization. Shockingly, the report estimates that a staggering 50 million people worldwide are ensnared in this web of exploitation, with 28 million enduring the horrors of forced labor.
While some of the most egregious cases, such as the plight of Uighurs detained in Chinese work camps and North Korean prisoners, have garnered global attention, the insidious issue of forced labor knows no borders. It's a global epidemic, silently lurking even in developed regions like the US, Europe, and Australia.
Join us as we engage in a crucial conversation with attorney Martina E. Vandenberg, the distinguished founder and President of The Human Trafficking Legal Center. Martina's 20-year career has seen her testify before senators and collaborate with Human Rights Watch, taking her to the frontlines of countries like Bosnia and Ukraine, where she has tirelessly fought against the scourge of enforced labor and human trafficking.
Martina shares her invaluable insights, shedding light on the challenges, triumphs, and ongoing battles against these grave injustices. This episode serves as a wake-up call to the global community, reminding us of the urgency to address this pressing issue.
Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion that underscores the importance of standing up for the rights and dignity of those trapped in modern slavery.
