Sandra Morgan was appointed to serve as East Cleveland's interim mayor in late February, following the suspension of Mayor Brandon King, who soon faces trial for corruption-related charges.

Derek Marsh joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as the two discuss the role of law enforcement in preventing human trafficking. Derek Marsh Derek Marsh is the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice. He is a retired Deputy Chief of the Westminster Police Department, CA, with over 26 years of service. He co-founded the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force and has been a national and international leader in anti-human trafficking training, investigations, and advocacy. A former Bureau of Justice Assistance Visiting Fellow, Derek has worked extensively to improve labor trafficking investigations and task force collaboration. He holds master's degrees in Human Behavior and Police Management & Leadership and continues to advance education, outreach, and justice initiatives through GCWJ. Key Points It is important to shift law enforcement's focus from a traditional reactive approach (arresting perpetrators) to a proactive model that prioritizes prevention of human trafficking through holistic strategies. There is a strong focus on utilizing victim-centered, trauma-informed approaches in law enforcement to provide appropriate support for victims while addressing the dynamics between victims and perpetrators, rather than solely relying on arrests and punitive measures. There are financial implications of preventative versus reactive responses. Investing in preventive measures could ultimately be more cost-effective than dealing with the long-term consequences of exploitation and incarceration. Collaboration among various stakeholders—including law enforcement, social services, and community organizations—is necessary to effectively address human trafficking and to support prevention strategies that mitigate risk factors for exploitation.

This is episode #334: Law Enforcement's Role in Preventing Human Trafficking. My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan, and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Our guest today is Derek Marsh, an old friend and frequent guest on the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. Derek serves as the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice. He is adjunct faculty in the criminal justice major, a retired deputy chief of Westminster Police Department, and co founded the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force. He's also been a former Bureau of Justice Assistance Visiting Fellow. Derek has worked extensively to improve labor trafficking investigations and Task Force collaboration. We are so grateful that he's on our Global Center for Women and Justice team, and we're eager to dive into this conversation. Derek, welcome. Derek Marsh 1:42 Thank you for having me again. Sandra Morgan 1:43 Yeah, it's kind of hard not to run into you around here. Derek Marsh 1:47 You being the boss and telling me what to do kind of helps. Sandra Morgan 1:49 I know I love it, though, when you were the boss, but I get to have that role now, so it's great. I'm excited because you know how much I love talking about prevention, and usually you're talking about finding the bad guys, locking them up, and making sure they can't do what they did ever again. But now, we're going to look at this from the perspective that law enforcement has a role in preventing human trafficking. Let's start with that question: How do we change our lens so that we're more proactive instead of reactive? Derek Marsh 2:35 It's a difficult lens to change, because a lot of our work in police work is we're rewarded financially,

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by the Live2Free president, Delaney Mininger, as the two discuss the upcoming Fair Trade Fashion Show at Vanguard University. Delaney Mininger Delaney is the president of the Live2Free club at Vanguard University and the Global Center for Women and Justice. Delaney is a third year student at Vanguard and a sociology major. She says her passion for preventing human trafficking started at just 11 years old when her mom went with a team to Italy to help women involved in trafficking there. Key Points The Fair Trade Fashion Show promotes self-expression through fashion while encouraging consumers to consider the ethical implications of their clothing choices and the production processes that affect the dignity of workers. Fast fashion contributes to overconsumption and supports exploitative labor practices. The culture of buying cheap clothing leads to waste and supports industries that profit from modern slavery. The podcast emphasizes the importance of supporting Fair Trade items and thrifting as ethical alternatives. Fair Trade ensures that workers receive fair wages, while thrifting helps reduce waste and is often more accessible for budget-conscious consumers. The Live2Free club, through initiatives like the Safe Kids, Safe Communities Program, aims to educate youth about human trafficking, healthy relationships, and online safety, filling an educational gap often overlooked in traditional school curriculums. Human trafficking is a global issue, not just a problem in the U.S. The Fair Trade Fashion Show aims to encourage audiences to recognize their role as consumers and to make informed choices that can contribute to reducing demand for exploitative labor practices.

My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan, and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. I am so happy to have Delaney Mininger here in the studio with me for today's podcast.

She says her passion for preventing human trafficking started at just 11 years old when her mom went with a team to Italy to help women involved in trafficking there. So Delaney, thank you for coming in today. Delaney Mininger 1:25 Yeah, thank you for having me. Sandra Morgan 1:27 How long have you been president of the Live2Free club? Delaney Mininger 1:31 I have just become president this year. I've been fully onboarded. I did some work over the summer, but officially starting at the beginning of this school year I became president. Sandra Morgan 1:42 So maybe I should be addressing you as Madam President. Delaney Mininger 1:45 Perhaps. Sandra Morgan 1:46 Perhaps, oh my goodness. Okay, so one of the first things that happens every fall is we dive right in here at Vanguard with the Live2Free club for a Fair Trade Fashion Show. How did you get involved with that? Delaney Mininger 2:05 Yeah, so my first experience with the fashion show was actually during Welcome Week. I was walking through the campus mall, and I walked up to a booth that was talking about human trafficking. Like forementioned, my mom had been working with victims of human trafficking since I was younger, and so I had an interest, and I just saw that there was a fashion show, and I thought that was such a fun way to get involved and to get some experience with clubs and different activities on campus.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by her friend and colleague, Madelyn Rodriguez, as the two discuss the importance of restorative practices. Madelyn Rodriguez Madelyn Rodriguez is the Director of Programs at Project Kinship, where she leads and works alongside teams dedicated to supporting and training individuals impacted by incarceration, gangs, community violence, and trauma. She has a strong background in community intervention, clinical leadership, and restorative practices. Madelyn is passionate about providing culturally competent, community based, behavioral and mental health services. Key Points Project Kinship aims to provide a sense of home and community for individuals impacted by incarceration, gangs, violence, and trauma. The organization's approach fosters a judgment-free environment where individuals can feel safe to express their pain and experiences. To ensure an individual feels heard and supportive in their healing journey, it is important to use trauma-informed care. One aspect o fthis is empathic accuracy, which involves understanding and responding accurately to the emotional state of an individual.  Restorative practices play a crucial role in addressing community violence and individual trauma. These practices focus on repairing relationships, building community, and cultivating leadership while maintaining the emotional safety of participants. Project Kinship engages with community partners and employs "live handoffs" rather than simple referrals, ensuring vulnerable individuals receive the support they need and foster meaningful connections to promote healing and stability. Consistent, supportive relationships and interventions can help facilitate healing and personal growth in both youth and adults. With dedication and the right support, healing is possible for those affected by trauma.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Dr. Harriet Hill as the two discuss the power of art as a therapeutic tool for healing trauma. Dr. Harriet Hill Dr. Harriet Hill was born to Dutch parents in Los Angeles. Her art is a unique fusion of her Dutch Heritage and Africa's vibrant colors, where she lived for 18 years. For over 20 years, she has worked globally with survivors of war and violence, using the power of art to unblock emotions and facilitate healing. Those who experience her art are brought joy. Now, Dr. Harriet Hill advocates creativity as a tool to enhance perosnal flourishing. Key Points Art serves as a therapeutic tool for healing trauma, particularly in communities affected by war and violence as it has the ability to help individuals express emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally. It is important that ordinary people have access to trauma healing exercises and resources, especially in communities with limited mental health professionals. Dr. Harriet Hill's work includes development of materials that allow non-professionals to facilitate healing through art. Dr. Harriet Hill emphasizes that experiencing beauty, especially in nature or art, is essential for mental health and nourishment of the soul. Engaging with beauty is not a luxury but a necessary part of self-care and overall well-being. While individuals have different cultural backgrounds, the experience of suffering and the need for expression through art are universal. Art transcends language barriers, allowing for shared healing experiences across cultures. Resources 325: The Cost of Burnout, with Dr. Alexis Kennedy Healing Invisible Wounds by Richard F.

Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan, and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Our guest today is Dr. Harriet Hill.

For over 20 years, she has worked globally with survivors of war and violence, using the power of art to unblock emotions and facilitate healing. She now advocates creativity as a tool to enhance personal flourishing. Welcome to the podcast, Harriet, Dr. Harriet Hill 1:36 Thank you, Sandie. Thank you. Sandra Morgan 1:38 When I first met you, Harriet, you were introducing me to materials on trauma that were designed to use with children, with families, with people outside the clinical arena. I was so impressed with how accessible you made brain healing to every person, and it wasn't just something locked away in a clinical textbook that you could use for weightlifting. Tell us a little bit about your current work. Dr. Harriet Hill 2:23 Okay, my current work. I have been working full time as an artist, painting for the last four years now. I had always painted a bit and used art in life, and in the trauma healing work I was involved in. But in the last four years, I've been painting full time and having a ball. I worked in minority languages for most of my career, in verbal communication, how we get an idea from one person to the other, through words. I'm very interested and excited to have time to explore how we communicate through visual images, because there's similarities and differences, and I'm liking it a lot. Sandra Morgan 3:13 Well, just for our listeners, I subscribe to Harriet's newsletter and it pops up in my inbox, and I open it, and there is a blaze of color, and I can feel my response lifting. The more I thought about that, I thought,

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Dr. Alexis Kennedy as the two discuss the importance of self care within the parameters of professional careers. Dr. Alexis Kennedy Dr. Alexis Kennedy is a forensic psychology researcher, and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She has led federal and state grants to study violence against women and children, and as an expert with more than 30 years of working with human trafficking victims, she knows intimately the risks of developing burnout and compassion fatigue. Dr. Alexis Kennedy works with first responders, health care workers, attorneys, and other helping professionals throughout the US and Canada to stay in important but difficult work without sacrificing their own health. Key Points Burnout and compassion fatigue can take an emotional toll on professionals working with human trafficking victims, that can lead to significant mental and physical exhaustion. Dr. Kennedy emphasizes that self-care is crucial for maintaining effectiveness in high-stress jobs. Professionals must recognize the need to recharge and manage their well-being to avoid burnout. This includes developing healthy routines and taking breaks. Physical and emotional signs of burnout include changes in sleep patterns, appetite, digestive issues, and chronic pain. These symptoms are indicators that stress is impacting one's health and should be addressed proactively. Vicarious trauma can affect individuals who work closely with trauma survivors as the secondary exposure to trauma can be as damaging as direct trauma, leading to symptoms similar to PTSD. Dr. Kennedy provides practical advice for managing stress, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a calming bedtime routine, and avoiding blue light before sleep. She also mentions the importance of finding balance and avoiding overwork. Peer support plays an important role in recognizing and addressing mental health issues, including suicide risk. Tools like the Columbia Lighthouse Protocol can help identify individuals in need of support and facilitate appropriate interventions.

Dr. Kennedy, I am so excited to have this conversation today. Welcome. Dr. Alexis Kennedy 1:52 Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be here. Sandra Morgan 1:55 So you can call me Sandie, can I call you Alexis? Dr. Alexis Kennedy 1:58 Absolutely. Sandra Morgan 1:59 Okay. So when I first heard about you, I had been in Las Vegas meeting Judge William Voy who had started a CSEC court, commercially sexually exploited children, and he was really on the cutting edge of looking at these kids with a different lens. You've been there from the get go with him, it's like you've been swimming in trauma for decades. Can you give us a very tiny glimpse of that?

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Rachel Thomas as the two discuss the importance of role models and mentors for vulnerable youth. Rachel Thomas Rachel Thomas is a survivor, advocate, and educator. She is serving her second term on the White House Advisory Council, co-founded Sowers Education Group, and speaks all over the country. Rachel Thomas will be the Amplify 2024 Keynote speaker to support the work of the Global Center. She has previously been a guest on the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast on episode #196: Ending The Game and episode #272: The Cool Aunt Series. Main Points Role models and mentors have a significant impact on youth, particularly black youth and those in the foster care system. They are crucial in providing guidance, stability, and positive examples that many youth may lack. Hip hop and rap culture have a large influence on youth, especially in terms of role modeling and aspirations. Many youth, particularly those in vulnerable situations like foster care, look up to hip hop artists who may embody success and empowerment in ways that resonate with them, although there are potential pitfalls of hypersexualization and dysfunctional themes in the genre.  When it comes to mentoring youth, challenges may arise surrounding the idolized figures in hop hop culture, however, it is important to have conversations around these influences without dismissing the artists or their influences. As a mentor, it is important to build rapport, understand the youth's perspectives, and gradually introduce alternative ways of thinking and aspirations.  It is important that adults get involved in mentoring programs as just one committed mentor can make a significant difference in a young person's life.

We're really excited. You've been a frequent flyer on the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast. I'd like to recommend that people go back and listen to episode #196: Ending The Game, probably one of the best discussions on psychological coercion, and your episode #272 with The Cool Aunt Series.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Crystal Bennett as the two discuss the importance of building survivor informed organizations and how the Toolkit for Building Survivor Informed Organizations serves organizations who seek to do so. Crystal Bennett Crystal Benett is a seasoned professional serving as the Deputy Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, and Special Initiatives at the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center. With a rich background in social justice, advocacy, and community engagement, Crystal is dedicated to fostering inclusive environments and advancing initiatives that combat human trafficking. Main Points An organization's job postings should be intentional, explicitly stating its  commitment to SAMHSA's 6 Guiding Principles to a Trauma-Informed Approach. The toolkit encourages the implementation of reflective supervision practices within an organization. This means that there should be opportunity for collaboration and building relations between supervisor and supervisee. Reflection supervision enhances collaboration and the choices that an employee has, creating trust and extending greater control for the person who is being supervised. It's essential that a person with lived experience has control over their own story and how it is shared. The sharing of one's story should have a purpose and shouldn't be simply providing shock value or sensationalizing an issue.

My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. We are back with part two of our episode exploring The Toolkit For Building Survivor Informed Organizations. We're having a wonderful conversation with Crystal Bennett, a seasoned professional, serving as the Deputy Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility, and Special Initiatives at NHTTAC. I'm not going to do her whole bio again because if you missed the last episode, you have to go back and listen to it. Crystal, thank you so much for coming back, 'm really excited to dig in again today. Crystal Bennet 1:23 I'm excited to be back, Sandie. Sandra Morgan 1:26 All right. Well, we looked at the first six chapters, we looked at the framework, and we understand that this is a critical toolkit that provides opportunity for assessment along the way. So your organization should be thinking, as you look at this, to do the assessments that populate every chapter, and then in six months go back and do it again. And in a year, do it again, because we can do better when we know better, but we're more likely to do better if we measure our progress. We're going to jump in to chapter seven, and talk about human resource development and training. I think this was one of the most insightful chapters for me, Crystal, because I've been around a long time, I've heard a lot of the content. But this particular approach with going beyond the walls of my center, and going to our human resources, and making sure this is part of onboarding. So talk to us about how that helps with our culture shift. Crystal Bennet 2:59 Absolutely, Sandie. I would say chapter seven is probably the longest chapter in the toolkit, which I think really emphasizes the importance when we're thinking about our recruitment processes, our hiring practices, our onboarding protocols, and our training processes, and making sure that every single component of each of those has those guiding princ...

With a rich background in social justice, advocacy, and community engagement, Crystal is dedicated to fostering inclusive environments and advancing initiatives that combat human trafficking. Key Points The Toolkit for Building Survivor Informed Organizations is for organizations who serve individuals who have experienced trafficking, are working to prevent situations where an individual may experience trafficking, or are wanting to include individuals with lived experience in anti-trafficking efforts.  SAMHSA's 6 Guiding Principles to a Trauma-Informed Approach are vital in the Toolkit for Building Survivor Informed Organizations. The principles guide organizations in cultivating a physically and psychologically safe environment.  It's important to listen to and uplift the voices of those with lived experience in order to guide the work of the anti-human trafficking movement.  An organization should ensure that all staff members have access to self care and should have a foundation set in which leadership shows a commitment to the organization's ability to achieve its mission.  It is essential to ensure the culture of an organization values all staff and members, giving individuals with lived experience control over their stories and whether or not they are shared.  Equity represents access and opportunity.  Resources Toolkit: Building Survivor Informed Organizations National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA's 6 Guiding Principles to a Trauma-Informed Approach Human Trafficking Leadership Academy On the “VIBE” Framework Transcript Sandra Morgan 0:14 Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast, here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast intern, Nadia Sosa, as the two discuss Dr. Sandie Morgan's new award. Dr. Sandie Morgan Dr. Sandie Morgan is recognized globally for her expertise on combating human trafficking and working to end violence against women. She is the director of the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University in Southern California. She is passionate about the role of education in fighting human trafficking. She launched a 12-unit Anti-Human Trafficking Certificate that is totally online. She believes everyone can do something. But first, they need to study the issue.  Then they can be a voice and make a difference. Key Points As an educator, it's important to ask questions and incorporate student voices in important conversation to better equip them to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference. A global context, the intersection of different dimensions across society, is essential when addressing issues in education. When a community is safer for women and girls, the rest of that community is safer and bettered. It is Dr. Morgan's goal as an educator, that students learn principles of human dignity, to grow communities where exploitation and human trafficking cannot exist. The theme of women supporting women is important for the next generation of girls, as the nominees, finalists, and awardees of this year's Orange County Inspirational Women awards aim to build a future that will support and inspire the next generation of women.

And it's so exciting to have my intern being the interviewer today so thank you, Nadia. Nadia Sosa 0:46 Thank you, Dr. Morgan. Today, we're going to be talking about Dr. Morgan's new award, the 2024 Orange County Inspirational Women Forum and Leadership Awards for Education and Government. So to start off, Dr. Morgan, I just wanted to ask you, what has been your reaction to winning this award and how do you think that it's recently affected the way that you interact in the sphere of education? Sandra Morgan 1:12 First of all, I was delighted that there was a category for Women of Inspiration in Education and Government. I sometimes feel like I'm so behind the scenes and my job, my passion, I feel compelled, is to equip the next generation in combating human trafficking and reducing violence against women. So I was delighted to hear that this was a focus. The day of the lunch I showed up, because I always show up to be a voice and to represent what we do at the Global Center, and to represent the issues that women and girls face. So when they actually called my name, I was stunned. I stopped and then I went into, "Oh, I need to go up there and say something to represent the women and the girls that I work on behalf of." Nadia Sosa 2:25 That's wonderful to hear that they're always on the forefront of your mind and that's who you're always keeping in mind and taking into consideration even when you've won such a big award. That's wonderful to hear, especially as a student knowing that someone who has educated me really cares about what you're doing. And then just piggybacking off of that, how do you think that being an educator helped you with your work in other spheres, like your work in the anti-human trafficking movement and in faith based organizations? Sandra Morgan 2:54 I believe that being an educator gives me two advantages. First of all,

Dr. Sandie Morgan looks back at episode #110, with founding co-host Dave Stachowiak, as the two discuss the importance of making just choices with our purchasing power. Key Points It's important to understand that as consumers, we all have a purchasing power that we can use, and it all begins with awareness and consideration of what's good for those who were behind the production of a product. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs provides a list of goods produced by child labor or forced labor and can be found below. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs takes a research based approach to creating this list, using information that is available to the public and can be replicated. Being aware of the good that are produced by child labor or forced labor is a start to individual and collective action. It is an opportunity to become educated in order to change the quality of life for a child, an adult, a human being.

My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today, we are bringing back my founding co-host, Dave Stachowiak as we revisit a previous episode. You're going to be listening to Episode #110: "Just Choices: Is it Too Complicated?". I was reminded of this episode as I saw all of the chocolate in the stores as we celebrated Easter. This episode opens the door for more reflection on our personal ethics in our fight to make a difference in ending human trafficking. With the passage of time, I've come to value a personal ethic that builds empathy and bleeds into other spheres in our lives where we have influence: your business, your office, your place of worship. Take a listen to this conversation between Dave and me. Dave 1:50 Sandie today, we are looking at a topic that is one that actually pretty much all of us are dealing with, whether we understand that or not, are aware of that or not. That is some of the choices we make in sourcing supplies and working with forming partnerships with organizations that supply things to our organization, and to businesses, and to nonprofits and thinking through that, or not, as the case may be. We've got a lot of tools and resources to look at today, in order to help us all to be more effective. Sandra Morgan 2:28 I tell you, Dave, I've had so many conversations of late, where it's part of who I am. We're having a conversation and I hear people say, "Well, that's too complicated." Because I explained, during Ensure Justice preparation, the idea was to order a little cotton tote bag, and someone had found a really good deal, and I said, "Well did you check the supply chain? Because here in California, we have the Supply Chain Transparency Act." The person looked at me and said, "That's kind of complicated, I don't have time to do that." I said, "Well, it's out of my department, I'm going to do it." This is something I really want listeners to pay attention to. If the people in your company, in your organization, in your church, if you're a pastor, you're the CEO, and the buck stops here. If decisions are made, to not follow through on something that looks a little complicated, ultimately, that's going to be my responsibility. So I stayed a little later, I went online, I checked out the website, and according to the law,

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Kirsten Foot as the two discuss the role that government agencies play in equipping and influencing others against trafficking. Kirsten Foot Kirsten Foot, PhD, is the CEO and Executive Director of Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST) which educates employers to prevent  human trafficking, and provides pathways to safe employment for trafficking survivors. BEST offers employers consulting on anti-trafficking strategy development and implementation, video-based and in-person training services, and advisement on communicating about human trafficking with employees, customers, vendors and the public. Kirsten Foot was also a guest on Episode #111 and Episode #310 of the Ending Human Trafficking podcast.  Key Points To prevent human trafficking, the act and crime must be made more costly to traffickers, more expensive financially, and have higher risks and consequences so that they can no longer benefit from it.  BEST aims to drive trafficking out of businesses and the same strategy can be applied in the public sector to help public sector employers drive traffickers off of public property, agencies, and infrastructures. Government agencies have the power to do all of these things, and in turn, make trafficking harder and hurtful to traffickers rather than easy and beneficial.  It is important that businesses cross-train their employees and equip them to observe and report labor trafficking.  It's important for management of a government agency to be trained as well, in order to support their front-line employees and provide a clear protocol for when a potential case of trafficking is identified.  Government agencies have the power to influence not only residents of the county they're based in, but many other types of organizations by encouraging businesses that they work with, providing awareness-raising materials, and encouraging leaders to learn and contribute.  Resources EHT #111 EHT #310 NCMEC Ports of Freedom Not Alone Campaign Be the One Campaign BEST Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Transcript Sandra Morgan 0:14 You're listening to the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice.

Kirsten Foot is back today to discuss how government agencies leverage tools and strategies developed by Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking, the organization she leads to counter human trafficking. Kirsten has a Ph. D. She's CEO and Executive Director of BEST, Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking, and she leads their initiatives to educate employers to prevent human trafficking, and provide pathways to safe employment for trafficking survivors. BEST offers employer consulting on anti-trafficking strategy development and implementation, video based and in-person training, services, and advisement on communicating about human trafficking with employees, customers, vendors and the public. Kirsten has been a guest on episode #111, and episode #310. Kirsten welcome back. Kirsten Foot 2:01 Thank you, Sandie, it is always good to talk with you. I learn things in our conversations too, I'm just excited to have this chance. Sandra Morgan 2:09 So I've been trying to reconsider the approach that I take to educating my community, and from the beginning of the podcast, a lot of my goals were designed around providing resources. But as I kind of lean into this new season, I want to understand better the "why", and my students can look up the "what", they Google it before I can get it out in my classroom, but the "why", that is the message. So I want to start today with the "why" for BEST, particularly in the context of serving government agencies.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Susan Kennedy as the two discuss the importance of keeping our children safe online. Susan Kennedy Susan Kennedy joined the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2018.  At NCMEC, Susan leads NCMEC's prevention, outreach, training, and partnership programs. Previously Susan was the Director of Programs at the Center for Alexandria's Children where she conducted child forensic interviews, coordinated the Child Advocacy Center program, and oversaw a community-based primary prevention program for children aged zero to five and their caregivers. She earned her Bachelors' degree in Psychology from The College of William & Mary and a Master of Education degree in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University.   Key Points The National Center for Missing and Exploited children is the nation's largest and most influential child protection program, and creates vital resources for children and those who keep them safe.  In 2023, NCMEC's Cyber Tip Line received 36.2 million reports of suspected child exploitation.  Reports of online enticements have almost doubled from 2022 to 2023, observing an increase of more than 300% from 2021 to 2023.  An important part of the policy agenda is to equip local, state, and national agencies with equivalent technology that has enabled offenders.  There has been a shift in sextortion where now, offenders target teenage boys and are financially motivated.  Resource NCMEC 48 - International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children NCMEC CyberTipline NCMEC Impact Page NetSmartz Transcript Sandra Morgan 0:14 You're listening to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. This is episode #315: "Keeping Our Children Safe Online" with Susan Kennedy. My name is Sandie Morgan and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Our guest today is Susan Kennedy. She joins us from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, where she leads their Prevention, Outreach, Training and Partnership programs. Previously, Susan was Director of Programs at the Center for Alexandria's Children, where she conducted child forensic interviews, coordinated the child advocacy center program, and oversaw a community based, primary prevention program for children aged zero to five and their caregivers. She's earned her degrees from the College of William and Mary, and from Harvard University, I am so glad to welcome you here, Susan, and there are so many things in your bio that make me want to go back and ask, but we can't do that, we have a job to do today. Susan Kennedy 1:39 Yes, thank you so much for having me, and I'm excited to talk about all the things we have to talk about today. Sandra Morgan 1:44 Well, let's talk first about NCMEC, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the strengthened value of being a public-private partnership with the FBI. Susan Kennedy 1:59 Sure, so NCMEC, for those of you who may not be familiar, the National Center for Missing Exploited Children, is the nation's largest and most influential child protection organization. We really see ourselves as leading the fight to protect children, creating vital resources for them, and for the people who keep them safe. So we're going to talk about a range of issues today. I think most relevant probably for our conversation, is the work that we do around the cyber tip line. So receiving reports of child sexual exploitation online, as well as providing services for victims, for law enforcement, including the FBI, as you mentioned, around child sex trafficking cases as well. So we are a nonprofit, but we have very strong work and partnerships with law enforcement agencies, like the FBI, but also other federal agencies, and local law enforcement. Really, that's because what we do is we are receiving information from the public,

Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by her friend and colleague, Kimberly Casey. The two discuss the National Human Trafficking Prevention Framework and the ways in which human trafficking is not simply a crime, but a human rights and public health issue. Kimberly Casey Kimberly is Communications and Prevention Specialist at the Office on Trafficking in Persons, Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. Kimberly is a graduate of George Mason University with a Master of Public Policy, culture, society and development. She is a self proclaimed learner and a strong proponent of connecting proven public health strategies with the vision of what we believe is possible to advance efforts to prevent human trafficking and other forms of violence. Key Points Human trafficking is not just a crime, but a human rights and public health issue, meaning it is also preventable. To effectively prevent human trafficking, real systemic change is needed as well as a system response, like this prevention framework. The National Human Trafficking Prevention Framework takes into account factors that make individuals or communities more vulnerable to violence, and assess the ways that buffers can be created to prevent violence from being experienced by an individual or community. Collective action is important for the prevention framework, making shared definitions essential, ensuring all those involved in the framework are working to move in the same direction and have common goals.

We've talked about this for a while now, so looking forward to the conversation. Sandra Morgan 2:12 Well, you and I have been having this prevention conversation for a really long time, and sometimes it feels like we're trying to find a magic formula, or even something just super simple, like teaching toddlers to brush their teeth, that becomes a lifelong habit that prevents dental decay. The more I look at prevention, the more I realize it cannot be a one off presentation. Awareness is maybe the beginning, but it certainly does not encompass prevention. When I learned from you that the National Human Trafficking Prevention Framework was being developed and will be released, I wanted to have a conversation. So can you tell us just a little bit about your expectations for the framework? Kimberly Casey 3:16 Absolutely. So we know that in addition to being a crime, in addition to being a human rights issue, human trafficking is really a public health issue. And like any public health issue, it's preventable, right? But we need to have a whole system response put in place to be able to effective...

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.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Christina Chalilopoulou as the two discuss the complex challenges in prevention of trafficking of Roma youth. Christina Chalilopoulou Christina Chalilopoulou is the co-founder and CEO of a ALYSOS Alert. She's a graduate of London Metropolitan University and has a degree in European Studies and Ethics. Christina Chalilopoulou has also studied Leadership for Gender Equality with the British Council and served in multiple roles for Greek government entities, overseeing projects for social responsibility, human rights, and policy in social inclusion, and sustainability. She's been Advisor to the President of the Central Union of Greek Municipalities, and a plethora of roles on behalf of education and social integration strategies for Roma people. Key Points The distinction between Greek and Greek Gypsy culture is the common, but illegal, crime of early enforced marriage, also a form of gender based violence. Roma are vulnerable to a multitude of forms of trafficking because of the social exclusion they experience. Examples of this social exclusion are the lack of access to health systems and lack of access to equal employment systems, resulting in low educational achievements, high levels of unemployment, and poverty. ALYSOS Alert aims to empower and inform within the Roma community, but also to educate society as a whole about the vulnerabilities and affects on the Roma people. The inclusion of those who have lived experience as a person of the community, is necessary in the process of designing policy.

Her name is Christina Chalilopoulou and she is co-founder and CEO of a ALYSOS Alert. She's a graduate of London Metropolitan University with a degree in European Studies and Ethics, and has also studied Leadership for Gender Equality with the British Council. Christina has served in multiple roles for Greek government entities, overseeing projects for social responsibility, human rights, and policy in social inclusion, and sustainability. She's been Advisor to the President of the Central Union of Greek Municipalities, and a plethora of roles on behalf of education, and social integration strategies for Roma people, which are so important to our topic today. There is so much more, so Christina, welcome to the podcast. Christina Chalilopoulou 2:05 Thank you for having me. It's such a great honor to be invited, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to communicate all the issues that my community is facing. Thank you so very much. Sandra Morgan 2:23 I loved meeting you in person when I was in Athens in June, and I plan to be back in Athens next June and see you again in person. So we'll get coffee. Christina Chalilopoulou 2:36 Yes, it will be lovely. Sandra Morgan 2:38 So tell us about the Roma people. I don't think people know very much and these are your people. Christina Chalilopoulou 2:46 Well, you see, Roma originate from Northern India, presumably from Northwest India. But in Greece, the Roma, or as I like to make the distinction, the gypsies, they have been present in Greece since the 14th century. We are not an entirely homogeneous group, given that we consist of different and often conflict tribes. We are estimated that we are around 300,000, Greek gypsies that live in Greece.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Jerome Elam as the two discuss the importance of advocating for male victims of trafficking. Jerome Elam Jerome Elam is president and CEO of Trafficking in America Task Force, Child Sex Trafficking Survivor, Survivor Leader, recipient of the Award for Courage presented by the National Council of Jewish Women, a member of ECPAT Global Survivors Forum, a member of ECPAT Global Network of Survivor Led Organizations. He's a staff writer and columnist for Community's Digital News, a special adviser to the Utah Attorney General, a Marine Corps veteran, recipient of the US Attorney General's Alliance Lifetime Achievement Award for Anti Trafficking work, and chosen as one of New York's New Abolitionists. Key Points The Warsaw Human Dimension Conference unites 57 OSCE member countries to report on how they've been addressing human trafficking and it is global in attendance. Human trafficking is multifaceted because there is forced criminality involved, making it less likely for men and boys to be identified as survivors. Jerome Elam describes grooming as psychological quicksand in which the predator grooms the victim through the five stages listed in the episode. Because of the shame that surrounds male victims, they are less likely to disclose the crimes, and through the grooming of a child's environment, the victim is less likely to be believed by the adults around them.

Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by Ioana Bauer. In this episode the two discuss European Perspectives on ending human trafficking procedures. Ioana Bauer Ioana Bauer completed her anti-human trafficking certificate through Vanguard University. She has been a leader in Romania since 2010 in eradicating human trafficking. She has helped pilot survivor engagement projects nationally, internationally through the UN, and through the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Ioana Bauer has impacted policy and legislation, leading an initiative in Romania to remove the statute of limitations for the crime of creating online Child Sexual Abuse materials. She's spearheaded a new award winning protection model compass geared at preventing and identifying trafficking for Ukrainian refugees. Ioana Bauer has been active in the area of protecting human rights and dignity since 2005, and, since 2010, she has dedicated her efforts to addressing human trafficking by leading and shaping prevention activities, developing materials on the issue and conducting capacity building activities. Ioana is an Ashoka Fellow, a 2020 Resilience Fellow with GITOC, and is recognized as one of the women leaders advancing the UN SDGs globally. Key Points Ioana Bauer received the first ever Amplify award at this year's Amplify Luncheon. Prostitution was recently recognized as a form of violence against women by the European Union. It's important to use accurate terminology, like "CSO" (Civil Society Organization) because it reframes something from a negative. Multiple items of legislation, recommendations, and bylaws have made it to their 20th anniversary, raising some concerns about whether or not they should be updated.  A referral mechanism is essentially a helpful roadmap for identifying victims, and guiding them to services/resources in order to access their rights.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Dr. Melissa Farley. The two discuss the issues surrounding the legalization of prostitution. Dr. Melissa Farley Dr. Melissa Farley. She's a feminist psychologist who has authored or co-authored 52 peer reviewed articles on trauma, healthcare, prostitution, pornography, and sex trafficking as well as two books, "Prostitution, Trafficking and Traumatic Stress" and "Prostitution and Trrafficking in Nevada: Making the Connections." Her research and publications have been used by governments in South Africa, Cambodia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Ghana, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States for education and policy development on prostitution and trafficking. Dr. Farley founded Prostitution Research and Education, a nonprofit research institute, which disseminates educational materials by survivors and others who contribute to the movement to abolish prostitution. Main Points Prostitution, pornography, and trafficking are linked and are difficult to separate because they all affect each other. Research should include survivor voices and cultural representation from leaders and experts should be a part of the process. Trafficking is essentially pimping, and in simple terms is the control of one human being by another who uses them for the purpose of making money by selling them for sexual use. The common narrative that permeates the nuanced issue of prostitution, and it is often pushed by the pimps themselves, is that most people engage in prostitution voluntarily but there are few who have been trafficked. Prostitution is not a freely made choice because coercive control is involved and social conditions that surround an individual. When prostitution is legalized, the stigma around it remains.

Stott has written the game-changing business and philanthropy book, “How to Ask for Money;” her powerful memoir, “She Who Dares;” and a series of empowering children's books – all to be published in 2023. In 2018, Alana Stott raised $1.3 million dollars for a mental health awareness campaign at the request of Prince Harry and Stott's husband Dean Stott, a double world record-breaking cross-country cyclist, TV presenter and former UK Special Forces Operator. This was not her first stint in fundraising. Much like her working life, her business and philanthropic career paths started early. Alana Stott qualified as a Ship Security Officer and one of the first women to receive the Company Security Officer designation, qualifying her to run security on any vessel at sea. She is also a fully-qualified Close Protection Officer. Stott is an honorary member of The Special Boat Services Association, the UK equivalent of The Navy's Seal Team 6. She has organized multiple grand red carpet events to raise funds for injured special forces soldiers and their families. Alana was award the title of Member of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) on the King's Honor List 2023 for her work supporting vulnerable women and mental health awareness. Key Points Alana Stott wrote three children's books for the purpose of opening up different conversations to educate youth. Her book "Live Your Own Way" teaches children that it is okay to have your own adventures, and that you don't always have to do what those around you are doing. "Who to Help Today" emphasizes the little opportunities we all have to help those around us. "Me and My Friends Play" displays the beauty in childhood friendships and how barriers that often keep us from connecting, are not an issue with youth. Mollie practices cyber-safety by keeping her location services off, keeping her accounts private, and denying any follow requests from those she doesn't know. She also blocks accounts that she is concerned about, or brings her concerns to her mom, Alana. It's important for youth to be educated about cyber-safety because they can easily spot unsafe situations that their friends might be going through. By giving youth the tools to be safe online, they can help their peers to do the same. Having conversations with our youth about how to be safe online allows them to feel good about talking to parents about their concerns and feelings.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Kelsey Syms as the two discuss R.E.A.L. Friends Don't and its importance in educating youth and parents and caregivers about online dangers. Kelsey Syms Kelsey Syms is the program manager for the Combating Human Trafficking program at the McCain Institute for International Leadership. She has a master's in Applied Leadership and Management and a bachelor's in Political Science. She's been with the McCain Institute, based in Washington D.C., since 2018. Key Points A recent survey by the McCain Institute found that parents and teen on't talk about sexting and online dangers. It's important that the talk between parents and teens about sexting and online dangers fulfill the stop, drop and roll method, meaning that it is a repetitive practice, not just a box that is being crossed off. Many parents often avoid difficult conversations like the one about online dangers, because they fear they are exposing their child to mature subjects at too early an age. However, R.E.A.L. Friends Don't provides a toolkit that gives parents tips on conversation starters. R.E.A.L. Friends Don't is focused on educating young people about the ways in which predators use social media to target vulnerable groups. They provide resources for both parents and teens, in Spanish and English. Resources Mccain institute  R.E.A.L Friends Don't: Online Safety Campaign R.E.A.L.

This is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today we have with us Kelsey Syms, from the McCain Institute to talk about the R.E.A.L Friends Don't Online Safety Campaign. Kelsey has a master's in Applied Leadership and Management and a bachelor's in political science. She's been with the McCain Institute since 2018. So Kelsey, welcome. Kelsey Syms 1:20 Thank you so much, Dr. Morgan. It's a pleasure to be here. Sandra Morgan 1:24 I'd like to know a little bit first about, what is the McCain institute? Kelsey Syms 1:29 The McCain Institute is an action tank. We are a part of Arizona State University based in Washington, DC and we work on a whole host of issues ranging from democracy, human rights, preventing targeted violence, leadership programs, and combating human trafficking. Sandra Morgan 1:55 I love that and you've actually been with the McCain institute combating human trafficking for five years now. Is that right?  Kelsey Syms 2:05 That's correct, I have. I joined the institute. I spent an internship with the Department of Justice in their child exploitation and obscenity section, and shortly thereafter joined the McCain Institute's combating human trafficking program, and have really enjoyed the thorough and impactful work that we've been doing, and really see a lot of opportunity ahead for us. Sandra Morgan 2:29 So I think it's important when we do our show notes, we'll put a link to the McCain institute. I love how it is based in an academic setting because so often we have abolitionist agendas, we are advocates, we're activists,

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Erin Burke from Homeland Security to discuss federal investigations into child exploitation crimes. They discuss the public-private partnership between HSI and NCMEC, the difference between child exploitation and human trafficking, and the rise of sextortion amongst our youth. Erin Burke Erin Burke is the Unit Chief for the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit (CEIU) at Cyber Crime Center (C3) with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). CEIU is comprised of three sections, the Victim Identification Lab, Intake and Operations, and Angel Watch. As a Special Agent, Erin has worked investigations related to child exploitation, human trafficking, national security, transnational narcotics, gangs, and financial crimes for over fifteen years. Erin earned a master's degree in Forensic Science from The George Washington University. Key Points The Child Exploitation Investigations Unit (CEIU) is the primary unit addressing child exploitation within HSI and partnering with other law enforcement around the world. Sextortion is becoming a growing trend in exploiting children for sexually explicit images and money. Kids are growing up in a digital age which requires us to understand the technology kids use and create safety barriers to protect them. Child exploitation is sexual abuse against a child perpetrated by a trusted individual. Child sex trafficking is the sexual exploitation of a child for monetary gain. NCMEC is the national clearinghouse for child exploitation and partners with federal agencies to investigate child exploitation crimes.

So, I am especially delighted to have such an amazing guest today. Erin Burke is unit chief for Child Exploitation Investigations at the Cyber Crime Center, Homeland Security Investigations. And she is an amazing and diligent investigator. She has, as a special agent, worked investigations related to child exploitation, human trafficking, national security, transnational narcotics, gangs, and financial crimes for over 15 years. Erin has a master's degree in forensic science from The George Washington University. Thank you so much for joining us today, Erin. Erin Burke  01:53 Thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here today and to talk to you. Sandra Morgan  01:57 So tell us, first of all, what the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit at Cyber Crime Center, also known as C3, what does it do? Erin Burke  02:11 So the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit, I might also refer to it as CEIU, is basically Homeland Security Investigations headquarters element that focuses on all types of child exploitation and abuse crimes. So we are comprised of three units, there's intake investigations, and that unit is where we work with our domestic and international partners to actually work on cases and large scale operations to combat predators online.

According to the International Labour Organization, there are 40.3 million human trafficking victims in the world. 71% of trafficking victims are women and girls. The numbers are overwhelming. But authors Kimberly McOwen Yim, Sandra Morgan, and Shane Moore believe the Church can help - with the right guidance. That's why they wrote the book Ending Human Trafficking: A Handbook of Strategies for the Church Today. They join Maggie John to explain how the Church can most effectively protect vulnerable people from trafficking.

A new day. A new week means a new podcast, but the same passion and fire as I deliver all that the sports world has to offer on this latest edition. On deck: (4:04) The showdown in the NL East is about to begin. The Mets and Braves meet up for three huge games down in Atlanta starting tonight, with the Mets holding a 1.5 lead in the division. How will this play out? Which team does this series means the most to? I'll have a preview. The Yankees come out of Boston with a split of a four game set. I'll dissect what's the one thing we've learned over the weekend about the Bombers and how it could play an enormous factor, not only down the stretch of the regular season, but more importantly, the postseason. I'll take a lay of the MLB land and get into the Rays and Blue Jays recent stumble and the Dodgers resurgence, among other things as we're one week away from the All-Star Break. (29:39) Wimbledon, tennis's third leg of the Grand Slam has officially completed. Elena Rybarkina is your surprise winner on the women's side. There's been a hint of controversy surrounding her win because players from Russia were banned for the tournament, but she represents another nation despite being born in Moscow. I'll explain further. Then there's Novak Djokovic winning his fourth Wimbledon in a row, seventh overall and 21st Grand Slam Final over Nick Kyrgios. Djokovic has gone on record stating that he doesn't anticipate playing in the US Open. How come? Also, how does Kyrgios perform moving forward now that he's made it to a Grand Slam Final? (38:03) The NHL Draft had a little surprise at the top where the hometown host Montreal Canadiens, expected to take Shane Wright as their #1 choice, pivoted and chose Juraj Slafkovsky instead. Were the fans in the building elated by the selection? The Blackhawks were wheeling and dealing over the past few days sending a few players and draft picks as it looks as if they're in rebuild mode. Will Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane be next? Quite a few goaltenders were moved (i.e. Alexander Georgiev, Ville Husso and Vitek Vanecek) as well. Now, free agency looms over the sport as Wednesday will be the first day teams can spend on players like Evgeni Malkin, PK Subban, Phil Kessel, Claude Giroux, Johnny Gaudreau and many more as the offseason is in full swing. (47:07) James Harden takes a pay cut to stay in Philadelphia as they look to add free agent PJ Tucker to the squad. How will he shape up when training camp comes around? Damien Lillard gets an extension to stay in Portland. He felt that if he were to go elsewhere, it wouldn't be fulfilling, when it comes to winning a championship. As commendable as it is for him to do so, the likelihood of that happening is slim and none. (50:53) Sandra Douglas Morgan and the Las Vegas Raiders made history as she was hired by the team to be the president of the franchise. What this could possibly mean for all of sports moving forward?

“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. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Sandra Morgan is director of the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California. An ordained Assemblies of God minister, she serves as co-chair of the World Assemblies of God Commission on Sexual Exploitation, Slavery and Trafficking.
