Dr. Sandie Moegan is joined by Anabel Martinez as the two discuss labor trafficking and forced criminality. Anabel Martinez Anabel Martinez currently works as a Senior Policy Counsel for the Sunita Jain Anti-Trafficking Initiative at Loyola Law School. She is a committed social justice policy advocacy professional, with over a decade of experience in advocating for marginalized communities through direct legal services and using trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices. Anabel Martinez transitioned to public policy advocacy to seek system changes that are intersectional and inclusive. She's highly skilled at looking at real-world issues from a nuanced, analytical lens that aids in the development of comprehensive and equitable policies. Main Points Labor trafficking by forced criminality involves individuals being coerced into performing illegal activities as their form of labor. This can include tasks like drug cultivation, shoplifting, or other illegal acts. The labor they are forced to do is illegal according to local laws. Anabel emphasizes the need for better systems to support youth who are trafficked into forced criminality. Many young people in juvenile detention may be victims of LTFC but are not always recognized as such. This misidentification can lead to punitive measures rather than supportive interventions. There are similarities between the experiences of child soldiers and youth involved in gangs or forced into criminal activities. Both groups often join or are coerced into their situations due to a lack of options and are subjected to severe coercion and manipulation. Immigrant youth, particularly those from Latin America or Central America, face heightened risks of being trafficked for criminal activities. There is a need for improved recognition and support systems for these vulnerable youth, who may be caught between the juvenile justice system and immigration proceedings. Effective screening tools for identifying labor trafficking by forced criminality are currently lacking. Anabel highlights the importance of training and tools for professionals who interact with youth, such as those in juvenile justice and social services, to better identify and support victims of labor trafficking by forced criminality. She also underscores the need for more data to understand and address these issues comprehensively.

I think you'd agree that one of the most tragic artifacts of today's society is the proliferation of human trafficking. In this weeks' episode of Consuming Careers, we're meeting with Ian Mitchell, who, while on his quest for a meaningful purpose in his life, was awakened to the horrors of human trafficking. Slowly, he began to realize that his entire career was preparing for a battle. Today, Ian is a leader in the fight against sex trafficking, child exploitation, and elder scams, but not with weapons or force; instead, by attacking the lifeblood that fuels these hideous crimes: the digital flow of money. A word of caution: due to the sensitive nature of this topic, please be mindful of those who may overhear this podcast. You can find Ian Mitchell at: https://www.iantmitchell.com/.

Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by Kaitlyn Zedalis as the two discuss the role of forced criminality in labor trafficking. Kaitlyn Zedalis Kaitlyn Zedalis is the associate director of research, learning, and advocacy for the Covenant House Action and Research Tank (CHART) at Covenant House New Jersey, where she oversees agency initiatives related to research, program evaluation, and advocacy. Kaitlyn has assisted organizations across North America on the topics of human trafficking, screening and assessment, trauma informed care, and best practices for serving victims of human trafficking. She has a master's degree in social work from Stockton University, where she currently serves as an adjunct professor, and is a licensed social worker and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor. Key Points The Covenant House Action and Research Tank, or CHART, is an initiative of Covenant House New Jersey that conducts research, develops evidence based strategies, and seeks solutions for complex problems such as homelessness and human trafficking. Labor trafficking by forced criminality is any labor trafficking where the labor a person is required to perform is a crime, heavily intertwining criminalization and victimization. Covenant House New Jersey's research found that a supportive adult relationship in an individual's life serves as a protective factor from trafficking. In many cases, a victim is forced or coerced to remain in the situation they are in for fear of getting in trouble with the law, as they see themselves as engaging in criminal behavior rather than as a victim.

In episode three of our Human Trafficking Policy and Research Analyses Project mini season, Just Science sat down with Dr. Kelle Barrick, Dr. Rebecca Pfeffer, and Natasha Aranguren, research scientists at RTI International, to discuss a study which estimates the prevalence of labor trafficking in Houston as a part of the larger Human Trafficking Policy and Research Analyses Project. Understanding the scope and nature of human trafficking exploitation is crucial for informing appropriate policy responses both in the United States and internationally. Based on existing knowledge about human trafficking nationwide, researchers from the Human Trafficking Policy and Research Analyses Project selected constructions workers in Houston, Texas as a key population for studying the prevalence of labor trafficking. Listen along as Dr. Barrick, Dr. Pfeffer, and Natasha discuss the importance of accurately estimating prevalence rates of human trafficking, the recruitment strategies and methodology used in their study, and how they overcame specific challenges associated with this kind of research. This episode is funded by the Human Trafficking Policy and Research Analyses Project (Contract Number: HHSP233201500039I).

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Derek Marsh, the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University. The two discuss the importance of shedding light on labor trafficking as well as understanding labor trafficking cases collaboratively. Key Points The same approach and attention given to sex trafficking should be used when approaching labor trafficking as both are crimes. While labor trafficking cases have decreased, collaboration when pursuing cases gives victims to opportunity to be liberated and ensures those who have committed the crime are held accountable. Investigating and identifying labor trafficking is difficult without collaboration because of its tendency to involve foreign nationals. It's important to have knowledge of the signs of labor trafficking to keep individuals who could possible be in a labor trafficking situation from being exploited.

You may also recognize Marisa from her previous appearances at several RIMS events, including RISKWORLD, on the topic of human trafficking.   With the International Labour Organization estimating that there are 27.6 million people enslaved globally with 19.9 million victims of labor trafficking, 1.4 million held in domestic servitude, and 6.3 million victims of sex trafficking, it is no question whether trafficking is a global emergency. And unfortunately, corporations can oftentimes become unwitting participants in human trafficking just by being in business.   As difficult as this subject can be to hear about, it is a critical one that risk professionals need to hear about in order to protect their organizations and better spot the signs of human trafficking. Be sure to tune in to not miss out on this important dialogue with Marisa Trasatti.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About the RIMS Membership. [:14] Registration for RISKWORLD 2023 is now open!

Sandie Morgan is joined by Derek Marsh, Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice. They discuss Derek's BJA Fellowship on human trafficking and how law enforcement and task forces can be more proactive in investigating and assisting labor trafficking. Derek Marsh, MA, MPA Derek Marsh retired from the Westminster PD, CA, after more than 26 years of service. In 2004, Marsh helped start the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force (OCHTTF). He served as the co-chair of the OCHFFT from 2004-12. During that time, he developed and taught courses in human trafficking across the state of California, provided oversight to human trafficking investigations, assisted in creating HT DVDs, wrote multiple grants, and provided Congressional testimony twice as a HT expert witness. He has presented anti-HT trainings across California and the United States, Saipan, Italy, and Argentina. He taught HT as an undergraduate course at Vanguard University, CA, from 2009 to present. He develops and teaches criminal justice and human trafficking courses. He has served with the United Nations to train Rwandan immigration officials, law enforcement, prosecutors, and NGOs over four intensive seminars in 2017. He has an MA in Human Behavior, an MPA in Police Management & Leadership, and graduated from FBINA Class #224. Currently, D.C. Marsh works as the Assistant Director at the Global Center for Women and Justice. He is researching how human trafficking task forces identify, investigate, and prosecute labor trafficking cases throughout the United States through on-site visits and review of historical task force and federal performance documents. He is helping to develop and provide training and technical assistance through the BIA, TTAC, and OVC-TTAC agencies. His expertise in Criminal Justice will contribute to the research, education, and advocacy mission of the Global Center for Women and Justice. Key Points From 2015-2018, Derek Marsh was a visiting fellow with the Bureau of Justice Assistance to conduct research on human trafficking. Across the board, we are missing labor trafficking cases due to a lack proactive investigations. The history of trafficking investigations in the U.S. shows a striking shift from labor to sex trafficking in 2009. To successfully address labor trafficking, we need to redefine what success means. The goal for law enforcement and prosecution should be to seek justice and closure for victims, whether it be via a criminal or civil case. Building a task force that is equipped to address labor trafficking looks different than a task force to address sex trafficking.

In episode three of our Human Trafficking Research season, Just Science sat down with Dr. Rebecca Pfeffer and Dr. Kelle Barrick, both research criminologists at RTI International, to discuss the importance of labor trafficking research as a specialized field within the broader scope of human trafficking. Labor trafficking cases can be difficult to identify and are thereby often overlooked and underfunded. Due to key differences between labor trafficking and other forms of human trafficking, it is important to independently investigate best practices for prosecution, resource allocation, and response to labor trafficking. Listen along as Dr. Pfeffer and Dr. Barrick define labor trafficking, discuss myths and misconceptions, and identify differences between labor trafficking and sex trafficking. This episode is funded by RTI International's Justice Practice Area. Some content in this podcast may be considered sensitive and may evoke emotional responses, or may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Tonight's special guest is Billy Joe Cain from Texas, co-founder of PBJ Learning and an expert in human trafficking prevention. Human trafficking is 'modern day slavery,' which is divided into Labor Trafficking and Sex Trafficking. It generally involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. The exception is if a child is under 18 years of age and trading sex for any value, that is automatically human trafficking. Informative human trafficking training lessons explain how human trafficking generates billions of dollars of profit per year, and is second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable form of transnational crime, worldwide. Billy Joe has spent 30 years in the interactive space, creating award-winning games, simulations, educational programs, and “gamified” training products. He delivered a flight simulator for the United States Air Force, and created and maintained online educational programs to improve critical thinking, math, and vocabulary skills. Now, his mission is to prevent human trafficking. Billy Joe has been building educational products to fight trafficking since 2017, because his children were being groomed by a sex predator, whom he had known as a friend for years. For his nonprofit, Radical Empathy Education Foundation, he developed an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experience which, in 15 minutes, demonstrates how anyone could be psychologically manipulated into becoming a victim of human trafficking. Billy Joe co-founded PBJ Learning with his partner, David Deeds, to provide online certificate-level training around the world.

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons is recognized to stress the harms of human trafficking women, men, and children around the world experience. Efforts to address these crimes are strengthened through survivor leadership, research and education, and building resilient communities. In the recent release of the 2022 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report from the U.S. Department of States Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, 21 countries were upgraded a tier because of their increasing work to address human trafficking in their countries--a victory worth celebrating this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons! This year, we are highlighting the supply and demand of the market that drives labor trafficking and how businesses and corporations can combat human trafficking by analyzing their supply chains, implementing ethical labor practices, and building sustainable avenues of income and resources for employees.

It is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons and our podcast has listeners in 148 countries. This is an important day for us. It's just me, Sandie Morgan, today to let you know that I'm taking a few weeks off in August, so Dave and I will return to our regular schedule on August 29th. In the meantime, let's celebrate the United Nations annual observance by joining forces with our movement's global partners as we study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Our latest episode, Shifting the Supply Chain Burden, with Justin Dillon, took a deep dive on some of the legislation that has been passed most recently, especially the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. It's a big step forward in our movement, but we've been looking at this issue for more than a decade on our podcast. So during this short break, we've put together a decade of ten episodes around the role of business in ending human trafficking. Just go to the website www.endinghumantrafficking.org and click on the link to browse these recommendations. You can start most recently with Episode 269, when Matt Friedman suggested how we can empower businesses to create a slave free world. And of course, one of our frequent podcast guests and former Ambassador John Cotton Richmond joined us for episode 267, The Intersection of Business and Human Rights. In Episode 266, we went to Ghana with Chris Field rescuing boys labor trafficked in the fishing industry. And back on episode 247, Ben Skinner gave us the high level look from a corporate change viewpoint in fast fashion on perspectives on transformation in labor trafficking. We brought Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner Cynthia Wittenberg on the podcast to talk to us about the role of Customs and Border Protection in disrupting supply chain forced labor. And back on 209,

We are almost to 50 episodes !! Todays we have on Dr. Kat, share an incredible story of when she was sex trafficked, for several years.

We shared some songs by some amazing musicians as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jody-shuffield/message

Sandie is joined by Justin Dillon to discuss new legislation that will address known forced labor in supply chains. They look at how companies can become aware and map their supply chain, various tools available on the market, and the need for a balance between educating and incentivizing corporations. Justin Dillon Justin is an entrepreneur, author, and artist. He founded the enterprise software company FRDM, with a mission of changing the world through the power of our purchases. FRDM is a business platform used by Fortune 500 companies to measure and mitigate risk of forced labor in supply chains. Justin is also the Founder and CEO of Made In A Free World, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending forced labor, human trafficking, and modern-day slavery through increased public awareness, action and advocacy. He is author of A Selfish Plan to Change the World (2017) which reveals the secret to a life of deep and lasting significance: the discovery that our need for meaning is inextricably linked to the needs of the world. Justin made his directorial debut in the film Call + Response, which revealed the world's 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. The “rockumentary” was theatrically released around the world and became one of the top documentaries of 2008. Justin founded the nonprofit organization Slavery Footprint. Partnering with the U.S. State Department and Google, they launched a multiple-award-winning website that asks the question, “How Many Slaves Work For You?” The website and mobile app allow consumers to visualize how their consumption habits are connected to modern-day slavery. Justin has worked in technology and human rights for ten years, advising the United Nations, White House, and several Fortune 100 companies on supply chain transparency and the purpose economy. Key Points People want to do good with lives, so for advocates, its about how to get more people involved and aware. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) "imposes various restrictions related to China's Xinjiang Uyghur region, including by prohibiting certain imports from Xinjiang and imposing sanctions on those responsible for human rights violations there." Transparency in supply chains can solves problems, other than forced labor, such as environmental climate change problems and operational problems. The Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) will implement a cycle of monitoring and evaluating work being done by corporations to adapt to the UFLPA bill.  It is important that buyer work with their suppliers to improve their supply chain and create incentives for supplies to be transparent. As a movement, remember to celebrate the wins.

“Imagine a steep and deadly cliff,” write Shayne Moore, Sandra Morgan, and Kimberly McOwen Yim. “Today, most churches and nonprofit organizations working in anti-human-trafficking efforts are focused solely on the victims who have already fallen or been thrown off the cliff of modern slavery.” Unfortunately, the authors continue, “we will never end human trafficking and modern slavery with this as our only strategy. Together, we must erect an impervious fence so that women, men, and children never fall off the cliff in the first place.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk with Sandra Morgan about how the church can help do this.

Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: Speaking for the SilencedEpisode 2: Labor Trafficking: Part 2 - The Most Common Forms of Forced LaborTweet to be shared on the network's twitter handle: Tune into this week's episode of #SpeakingfortheSilenced!You are listening to the Speaking for the Silenced podcast with your host(s) Jacqueline Sun.In this episode of Speaking for the Silenced, we will continue the Labor Trafficking segment with the second part and go in depth on the most common forms of forced labor occurring across the world. I will focus on three in particular, which are factory labor, agricultural labor, and domestic work.Segment 1: Factory LaborLabor trafficking is in the context of the manufacturing of goods.Men, women, and children are all virtually equally exploited, many workers caught in factory labor are immigrants. In these industries, the trafficked take on jobs involving repetitive, systemic labor. Meat processing industry: not strenuous, but mind-numbing.Garment industry: far more dangerous (fire, machinery)In November 2012, Tazreen Fashions Garment Factory burned down (112).Ali Enterprises burned down (250)Many more industries are involved in labor trafficking, but there are too many to count.Segment 2: Agricultural LaborLabor trafficking is also a common occurrence in the agricultural industries.Latin America is especially guilty of this.Labor is not confined to one region, not constant throughout the year.Irregularity and isolation makes the workers more vulnerable. North Carolina especially exploits immigrant workers.RTI International found 25% of all workers in NC experienced threats of violence/deportation, 39% experienced abuse.Law enforcement were unaware of the trafficking. Their words contrasted with what was actually happening.Segment 3: Domestic LaborDomestic Labor is the last form we are focusing on.Mostly involving women.65% of domestic workers in the US are immigrants or people of color.The trafficked workers often work 12+ hours a day 6 or 7 days a week in their employers' homes.Employers exploit their workers' lack...

Show Name: Speaking for the SilencedEpisode Title: Labor TraffickingTweet to be shared on the network's twitter handle: Tune into this week's episode of #SpeakingfortheSilenced!In this episode of Speaking for the Silenced the Podcast we will discuss the history, modern presence, and future impact of forced labor. This will be the first episode of a three part segment on forced labor. In the second episode, we will be going in depth on the most common forms of forced labor, and in the third, I'd like to recount to you guys a real life, local story of labor trafficking and what we can do to prevent it in the future.Segment 1: History of Forced LaborForced labor has been commonplace and diverse in form throughout history, so let's start from the beginning.Its first form can be found in slavery, which began as many as 9000 years ago in Mesopotamia.Slavery, as we know, is a form of existence where all self-autonomy and powers are removed.Slavery spread West, entered European societyIn certain regions of Europe, particularly the northern regions, slavery was losing relevance and being replaced by serfdom instead, another form of forced labor (around 12th century).America fought for independence, took on slavery anyways, irony in doing that, american south especially prominent in doing soemancipation proclamation “ended” slavery yet it and other forms of forced labor continuedWW2Nazi Germany and Concentration CampsRussia and Joseph Stalin's infamous GulagsExamples listed are only the most prominent forms of trafficking as we know itUN only formally criminalized human trafficking through the protocols regarding Transnational Organized Crime Groups (TOC) in 2000, just 21 years ago.Segment 2: Forced Labor's Modern Presence It is estimated that around 21 million people around the world today are caught in some form of forced labor.Many of the victims aren't even visible, human trafficking is very hard to detect. Most of these laborers are caught up in the agricultural, mining, construction, and marine industriesWhat lies behind the wide-spread use to exploit forced labor is the desire for profit90% of forced labor can be found in private industriesExample: Bananas in south american countries, such as ecuador:Why are they so cheap?Underpaying and mistreatment of workers, many of whom are paid less than 10$ a daySome of the more exploited aren't even paid.Prison SystemsFocus on the US prison system, containing the largest percentage of prisoners in the world.These prisoners act as laborers during the day, often working in mechanical or industrial factoriesWhether prison labor is forced labor or not is an ongoing, controversial debate. Prisoner laborers are paid anywhere between a few cents to a few dollars in a day.13th amendment bans slavery or involuntary servitude unless “as a punishment whereof the party shall have been duly convicted”Therefore, prison labor is technically legal.Organized prison strike of 2018 called the labor “prison slavery”.Line between prison labor and forced labor is very blurred. Certain demographics of prisoners are more exploited than others: illegal immigrants + African-Americans.Uyghur Persecution Chinese Government's persecution of Uyghurs, a Turkish ethnic group that is predominantly Muslim. Chinese Government forcibly removing them from their landsMany of them sent to remote so called reeducation...

On this episode we dive into a topic not yet covered on Driving Freedom: labor trafficking. Transportation was number 10 in the list of Top 10 Industries associated with labor trafficking victims in the US on temporary visas that were reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline and BEFREE text line. Individuals exploited when an employer compels or deceives them into providing involuntary labor -- often through use of violence, threats, manipulation of debt or blackmail -- number in the tens of thousands in the US. Learn from Rafael Bautista, a survivor of labor trafficking and a consultant and advisor for many federal and local agencies, as he shares cases to help us identify how we might intersect with labor trafficking and play a role in getting victims the support they need to live their own lives of freedom.Resources: National Human Trafficking Hotline: https://polarisproject.org/labor-trafficking/Labor Trafficking and Temporary Work Visas https://polarisproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Labor-Trafficking-in-the-US_A-Closer-Look-at-Temporary-Work-Visas.pdfTAT's Labor Trafficking brochure: https://truckersagainsttrafficking.org/labor-trafficking/
