Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Ambassador John Cotton Richmond as the two discuss the 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report. John Cotton Richmond Ambassador Richmond is an attorney and diplomat focused on ethical business, human rights, democracy, and rule of law. He served in the country's highest position dedicated to combating human trafficking as a U.S. Ambassador where he led U.S. foreign policy in the global fight for freedom. As a Partner at Dentons, Ambassador Richmond helps companies keep their supply chains and workforces free of human trafficking. He was named one of the federal “Prosecutors of the Year,” after a decade successfully trying complex police misconduct, cross-burning, neo-Nazi hate crimes, forced labor, and sex trafficking cases across the country. Ambassador Richmond is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, frequent expert for the United Nations, and frequent speaker on justice, freedom, leadership, faith, and vocation. Key Points The TIP Report evaluates 188 countries on their anti-trafficking efforts, including prosecution, protection, and prevention, and ranks them based on their progress compared to previous years. The rankings influence U.S. foreign policy, with tier three countries facing sanctions. Victim identification has improved with 133,943 victims identified this year, but this number represents less than 0.5% of estimated global victims. The TIP Report notes a rise in identified labor trafficking victims (31% of the total), highlighting a shift from primarily sex trafficking cases. The report does not specify industries, but labor trafficking occurs in various sectors, including domestic work and agriculture. Although prosecutions have slightly increased to 18,074, they are still below previous highs. Convictions remain significantly lower compared to past years, indicating insufficient accountability for traffickers. Despite regulations, victim identification remains low due to unfunded or underfunded mandates. Improved funding and strategic resource allocation are necessary to increase victim identification and support. The TIP Report emphasizes both the challenges and opportunities technology presents in combating trafficking. It also highlights the importance of including survivors in anti-trafficking efforts, recognizing their unique perspectives and contributions to the fight against trafficking.

June 23rd, 2023 - The U.S. State Department has recently released its ⁠annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report⁠ – a key instrument used globally to assess the state of anti-trafficking responses.  This year's TIP Report highlights the rise of trafficking to online scam centers as an emerging threat. As Ambassador-at-Large Cindy Dyer, wrote, “Cyber scams —from fake dating profiles to illegal gambling operations—are increasingly perpetuated through forced criminality. Transnational organized criminal groups are exploiting the vulnerabilities laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic, from social isolation to increased presence online, to coerce workers from around the world to conduct those scams, while also defrauding untold more.” Want to know more about the state of trafficking in the world today? This week's podcast episode delves into the key takeaways from the report. Listen to learn more. To read about how our work dovetails with the concerns highlighted in the TIP Report, we encourage you to review our blog. Here's a sample of what we've written about how we ⁠invest in partnerships⁠, an ⁠interview with a survivor leader⁠, how ⁠climate change impacts us where we work⁠, ⁠why we've always worked with boys⁠, and information about ⁠the online scam centers⁠.

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.

August 18th, 2022 - This year's TIP Report highlights the looming threat of climate change and its links to vulnerability to human trafficking. Climate change-related disasters disproportionately impact people who are already vulnerable to trafficking, and as environmental conditions get worse, more people will be impacted. It's estimated that human trafficking has the potential to increase by 20-30% at the hand of humanitarian disasters causing lost livelihoods and disrupted families. Listen to learn more.

One of the special focus areas in this year's Trafficking in Persons Report is China's Belt and Road Initiative (or B.R.I.) and the prevalence of forced labor in its projects, not just in China but also in other countries participating in the BRI. We'll take a look at what the Belt and Road Initiative is and why it's of concern to US foreign policy. Then we'll talk about what the special focus says about its links to forced labor – as well as what it doesn't say. Listen to learn more.

August 11th, 2022 - We're back and recovered to good health! Let's get caught up on our podcasts! Today, we're zooming in on this year's TIP Report's Special Focus on how governments can act as traffickers. Several states have been called out for demonstrating a pattern of using their power to compel their own citizens into sex trafficking or forced labor. State engagement in trafficking more directly links a country to a Tier 3 ranking. Listen to learn more.
