Lora Ries says Biden's HHS lost track of 400,000 migrant children, and Congress still hasn't acted. In this interview, she walks through how America got here — a 1965 law that launched chain migration, an asylum system she calls "easy to defraud," a trafficking program that went from an estimated 600,000–800,000 victims to 27 million worldwide with only 5,000 convictions — and the specific bills she says Congress could pass right now. Her warning to Republicans heading into the midterms: "Inaction is going to keep people home. SPONSOR: Human Coalition For $26, you can create a life-saving moment for a mother and her baby.

Lavinia Taumoepeau joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they trace how three young women who left Tonga for what they thought was a new life in China, and walked into marriages they never agreed to, became a viral video, then a police investigation, then a week of trafficking policy meetings across an entire country.Chapters(00:00) - Why It Was Called a Marriage Dispute (01:31) - Three Women, a Viral Video, and an Embassy Call (04:51) - Trafficking Indicators and an Open Investigation (09:27) - Bride Trafficking and Why Social Media Mattered (14:48) - Royal Support, the Five Ps, and Gaps in the Law (19:07) - Helping Media Report Without Doing More Harm (23:03) - Training Counselors and the Technical Working Group (28:12) - Referral Pathways and What Success Looks Like About Lavinia TaumoepeauLavinia Taumoepeau has served as Political Assistant in the POL/ECON section at the U.S. Embassy in Nukuʻalofa since February 2025, researching Tongan domestic politics and supporting embassy engagement with local authorities and NGOs. She writes the embassy's congressional reporting on trafficking in persons, and served as control officer for this visit. Before the embassy, she spent nearly two years as Tonga's first Safety and Protection Cluster Coordinator at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, building the standard operating procedures for disaster cluster response and managing $300,000 in international recovery funding. She holds a master's degree in international emergency and disaster management from Georgetown University, and two bachelor's degrees from the University of Utah in political science and international studies. She is a U.S. Fulbright Alumni Ambassador, has trained with UN Women and UNITAR on gender and disaster response across the Pacific, and contributed research for a Parliament for Women report through the Office of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga.Key Points• Framing a case as a transnational marriage dispute instead of trafficking moves the blame onto the women. In Tonga it produced open victim-blaming until people learned the legal definition.• Run the action-means-purpose test before arguing about labels. Recruiting and obtaining the women was the action, fraud about a new life and money sent home was the means, and servile marriage was the purpose.• A relative's social media post can do what official channels do not. An aunt went online asking for help, and the video broke a silence that had held for years, pulling in the embassy, the State Department and the police.• Prevention training belongs with migrant workers before they travel. Tongans work abroad in large numbers, and the diaspora is the practical safety net in countries where few Tongans are around to help.• An investigation stalls where the law is narrower than the facts. Tonga's case is still open partly because what was identified as trafficking has to be matched to policy and legislation that still has gaps.• Brief journalists on how to cover a case without interviewing survivors. Tonga's reporters shifted to the people who assisted, which let the coverage create no harm while still moving public understanding.• Ask who is missing from the table. That one prompt in the first policy roundtable sent the technical working group looking for stakeholders it had not yet connected with.• A national action plan does not fund itself. Until each ministry writes trafficking into its own annual plan it stays an afterthought, and referral pathways stay unclear to everyone outside the technical working group.Resources• U.S. Embassy in Tonga• Women and Children Crisis Centre (WCCC) Tonga• Tonga Launches First National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Persons with IOM Support• 2025 Trafficking in Persons Report: Tonga (U.S. Department of State)

Several political parties in Parliament have expressed concern and outrage following the latest spate of mass shootings in parts on the country. This weekend, 18 people were shot dead at a tavern in Wedela, Carletonville on Gauteng's West Rand, while another 10 people were killed in Lwandle in the Western Cape. Last week, 12 people, including a pregnant woman, were shot while at a party in KwaMakhutha south of Durban. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Security Strategist and Retired Interpol Ambassador, Andy Mashaile.

What can you do to help victims of sex trafficking? U-ACT is a great place to start. This critical organization was founded by CEO Lynne Barletta. It aims to stop human trafficking, with a special focus on eliminating child trafficking and exploitation through two pillars: education and restoration. Underneath each pillar are a number of programs for law-enforcement to healing of children and adults who are victims of human trafficking. Lynne was struck by the seriousness of sex trafficking while she was working in Singapore and worked with a young woman who had been trafficked by her parents since she was eight years old. Lynne discusses the real-world consequences victims must live with, as well as the rise of sexting and sextortion that American kids are exposed to today, due to the insidious dangers of the internet. TAKEAWAYS U-ACT offers a monthly free digital defense parent webinar Many major news networks won't even cover sex trafficking Pornography ruins minds and creates lifelong addicts and sex trafficking consumers Jesus will bring special justice in the End Days to those who have harmed children

In February 2025, the State Department designated six Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) as part of a broader push from the Trump administration taking aim at organized crime in the Western Hemisphere. While U.S. rhetoric has continually stressed the threat posed by Mexican cartels, an overlooked component in this narrative is the fact that U.S. guns comprise the overwhelming majority of cartel arsenals. Still, the use of FTO designations opens new avenues for prosecuting firearms traffickers, most notably through the use of material support for terrorism charges. In this episode, Henry Ziemer sits down with Jake Steisel, Senior Staff Attorney at Global Action on Gun Violence. Together, they analyze trends in U.S. firearms trafficking dynamics, as well as the legal implications of recent FTO designations and recent indictments of suspected gun traffickers. They also discuss the steps the United States and Mexico can take together to curb the supply of weapons to cartels. 

Kathleen Winn is dedicated to shining a light on the horrors of sex trafficking in the United States. With a background in business and news, Kathleen was shocked to discover how much human trafficking was happening in her home state of Arizona. Today, Kathleen is a radio talk show host and the chair of the Pima County Republican Party. She has worked hard to bring awareness to the issue of sex trafficking and to help trafficked victims be reunited with their families for decades. Don't be afraid to stand up for God's children or to help reach out to those around you who are in need. Trafficking is often a quiet and unseen crime, but sadly, it's happening everywhere. Know the signs and don't be afraid to take action when needed. TAKEAWAYS Know who your kids are talking to and know where they're going Protect your children at all costs and be wary of allowing your children to chat with strangers on the internet We cannot be self-focused because life becomes meaningless Around 400,000 unaccompanied migrant children went missing during Biden's open border crisis

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED This episode contains discussions of childhood abuse, sexual exploitation, human trafficking, drugs, and other disturbing subjects. It may not be suitable for all viewers. Dr. Juliette Engel is a physician, author, and founder of the Angel Coalition, an organization that worked to combat human trafficking throughout Russia and the former Soviet Union. In this episode, Juliette shares her personal account of being placed in the CIA's Monarch MK-Ultra program as a child. She discusses Project Paperclip, the alleged use of trauma and drugs in mind-control experiments, the “annexes” where she says these programs operated, and how she created “Sparky” as a source of courage and strength. Juliette recounts escaping at seventeen, rebuilding her life, becoming a physician, and later moving to Moscow. She explains how the Angel Coalition developed into a network of organizations working across the former Soviet Union to raise awareness, assist trafficking victims, and help bring children home. She also discusses Stanford Research Institute, Fort Point beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, harmonics, and what she remembers about the San Francisco music scene during the 1960s. Portions of this interview were removed from YouTube due to the sensitive nature of the discussion. In the full Patreon version, Juliette shares her account of meeting Jeffrey Epstein at a private gathering in the San Juan Islands in 1988. She explains what she says Epstein wanted from her, why he questioned her about converting and transmitting digital images, the offer he allegedly made, and why she felt she was in serious danger that night. The Patreon discussion also goes deeper into the G.A.T.E. gifted-and-talented program, a mysterious pink fizzy drink Juliette says some children were given, memory-blocking drugs, chemicals allegedly connected to destroying evidence, Zorro Ranch, trafficking networks, and the connection she sees between MK-Ultra survivors and Epstein survivors. Listen to the full conversation on the Waiola Plus Side: https://www.patreon.com/WakeUpWithMiya Learn more about Dr. Juliette Engel and find her books, Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick and Angels Over Moscow: https://www.julietteengel.com First batch of National Security Archive MKUltra docs released Dec 23 2024 https://rumble.com/v7dzce8-congress-isnt-listening-mk-ultra-survivors-reach-out-to-public-with-testimo.html?e9s=src_v1_sa%2Csrc_v3_sa_o%2Csrc_v1_upp_f https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarly Second batch released Oct 30 2025https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2025-10-30/top-secret-testimony-cias-mkultra-chief-50-years-later 2025 Trafficking in Persons Report https://www.state.gov/reports/2025-trafficking-in-persons-report/#report-toc__section-1 BUY A COFFEE LINK Support the Show & Stay Connected: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/sensiblehippie Join My Patreon for ad-free episodes & exclusive content: https://Patreon.com/WakeupwithMiya If you're joining Waiola – The Plus Side, please subscribe through a web browser (Safari or Chrome) instead of the Patreon app — it directly supports the show.

No quinquagésimo nono episódio do Estudos Medievais, recebemos Lilian Regina Gonçalves Diniz, doutora pela Università degli Studi di Padova e pesquisadora da Universidade Ca'Foscari, para discutir o tema “religião popular”. O episódio trata da vivência da religião pelas camadas populares na Idade Média como um desafio para o estudo histórico, tendo em vista a dificuldade de acessar essas práticas a partir da documentação disponível e a intersecção entre a religiosidade cristã e as práticas consideradas “heterodoxas”. Além disso, a professora nos fala sobre a construção do que convencionou-se chamar “bruxaria”, como ela vem a ser relacionada especialmente às mulheres e como a repressão sofrida por essas pessoas nos permite entender mais sobre a sua participação ativa nas práticas de cura e do cuidado com o corpo.ParticipantesLilian Regina Gonçalves DinizEmília FrançaMembros da equipeDiego Pereira (roteiro)⁠⁠Emília França (roteiro)Eric Cyon (edição)⁠Gabriel Cordeiro (roteiro)⁠⁠Isabela Silva (roteiro)⁠⁠José Fonseca (roteiro)⁠Marina Sanchez (roteiro)Rafael Bosch (roteiro)⁠⁠Sara Oderdenge (roteiro)Tamires Porfiro (edição e ilustração)Sugestões bibliográficasDA MOTTA BASTOS, Mário Jorge.

African Grey parrots are among the most recognizable companion birds in the world, but their intelligence, beauty, and popularity have also made them major targets of the illegal wildlife trade. In this two-part episode, Alexis and Avery examine the trafficking of Congo African Greys from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the devastating mortality behind wild-caught bird shipments, and the country's recent move to ban parrot capture, sale, transport, and export. They also discuss how prospective parrot owners can avoid supporting unethical trade through careful research and responsible purchasing.The episode then travels to South Africa to spotlight the vulnerable Cape Parrot and the work of the Wild Bird Trust's Cape Parrot Project. From restoring indigenous yellowwood forests and addressing disease and invasive species to community education and long-term conservation planning, this episode explores how protecting parrots requires protecting the habitats and people connected to them.Don't forget our species spotlight featuring the Rüppell's Parrot (Poicephalus rueppellii)!Always Remember: Be kind to your Parrot, and it will be kind to you!—Links:Visit Us: https://www.parrotstars.comParrot Stars on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parrotstars/Parrot Stars on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@parrot_starsParrot Stars on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@parrotstarsCape Parrot Project Instagram: @capeparrotprojectReferences:Animal Welfare Institute. “Commercial Pet Trade of Terrestrial Wildlife.” Animal Welfare Institute. https://awionline.org/programs/terrestrial-wildlife/commercial-trade/commercial-pet-trade-of-terrestrial-wildlife/BirdLife International. “Tackling the Illegal Trade and Trafficking of Birds.” BirdLife International. https://www.birdlife.org/projects/tackling-illegal-trade-inc-songbirds/Cape Parrot Action Plan Coordinating Committee. “Cape Parrot and Mistbelt Forest Action Plan.” https://www.capeparrotactiongroup.org/Makal, Didier. “DRC Finally Moves to Protect African Gray Parrots from Unsustainable Trade.” Mongabay, September 23, 2025. https://news.mongabay.com/2025/09/drc-finally-moves-to-protect-african-gray-parrots-from-unsustainable-trade-didier-makal/Pollock, Christal. “Understanding the Illegal Parrot Trade.” LafeberVet, April 20, 2013. https://lafeber.com/vet/understanding-the-illegal-parrot-trade/Toft, Catherine A., and Timothy F.

Minority in Parliament is demanding an independent parliamentary inquiry into what it describes as Ghana's growing reputation as a transit hub for narcotics

Often compared to modern slavery, trafficking in human beings destroys individuals' lives by depriving people of their dignity, their freedom, and their rights. Yet trafficking in human beings remains a largely hidden crime. In the EU, more than 20,000 victims were registered in 2023–2024, while many more remain invisible. Trafficking is a serious threat to security, closely linked to organised crime and generating enormous profits, with low risks for criminals. It affects women, men, and children in a wide range of sectors and takes different forms; including sexual and labour exploitation, forced criminality, and forced begging. It requires a comprehensive approach from prevention to prosecution of traffickers, while protecting the victims and working closely with partners from the private sector and non-EU countries. Against this backdrop, the IIEA host a keynote address by the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator, Diane Schmitt, offering insights into the latest trends, challenges, and action needed, as well as an opportunity to exchange views on this pressing issue. Moreover, this discussion fits into in the Irish Presidency's priorities to deliver on European competitiveness, values, and security, in addition to occurring at a particularly timely moment, as the EU will have a renewed EU Strategy on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings before end of 2026. Combatting trafficking in human beings requires a comprehensive approach to prevent the crime, protect the victims and bring perpetrators to justice. Diane Schmitt was appointed EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator in July 2021 to contribute to this approach, improve coordination and coherence among EU institutions, EU agencies and Member States, cooperate with international actors and support the implementation and development of EU policies in this area. This appointment follows a long career in the European Commission, where Diane Schmitt held different strategic positions, including in the area of migration, security, and justice.

The legal net continues to tighten around controversial social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate. Romanian prosecutors have formally issued a new, comprehensive indictment against the brothers, introducing severe charges that include the trafficking of minors, sex with a minor, money laundering, and witness tampering. This major legal escalation stems from an extended multi-year investigation by DIICOT, Romania's anti-organized crime agency, which now alleges the brothers generated millions through the exploitation of victims recruited years prior. In this episode, we break down the complex web of legal troubles currently surrounding the Tates. We examine the specific allegations within the new Romanian indictment—including claims of coerced webcam operations, asset laundering through luxury vehicles, and witness intimidation. Furthermore, we connect these developments to their ongoing detention in Miami, where they are simultaneously fighting extradition requests from the United Kingdom on separate sex crime allegations. Whether you are tracking global legal systems, interested in high-profile international crime news, or trying to separate fact from social media spin, this episode provides a clear, objective analysis of the facts. We explore:The New Indictment: A detailed breakdown of the minor trafficking, sex crime, and money laundering charges filed by Romanian prosecutors. The Financial Allegations: How authorities claim illicit funds were funneled and disguised through luxury assets. The International Legal Chessboard: Balancing the preliminary court reviews in Bucharest with ongoing U.S.–U.K. extradition hearings. The Defense Strategy: Looking at how the Tates' legal team plans to challenge the procedural validity of the new charges. We cut through the noise to deliver an unbiased look at one of the most polarizing legal stories of the decade.Stay informed on major global legal news.

Kevin Hoyt returns for another explosive conversation with Michael Jaco, bringing his latest claims and investigations out of Vermont and into the national spotlight. A former Vermont gubernatorial candidate and longtime government critic, Hoyt discusses what he believes are interconnected failures involving election integrity, state and local government, law enforcement, CPS/DCF, financial corruption, trafficking networks, surveillance, and organized criminal activity. Hoyt shares why he says years of reporting concerns to local, state, and federal authorities have only strengthened his determination to keep speaking out. He and Michael also discuss his allegations surrounding Vermont's political system, voter rolls, RICO-style corruption, government accountability, and the role everyday Americans can play in demanding transparency. The episode also turns personal as Kevin talks about his daughter, the enormous cost his activism has had on his life, and why he says he remains committed to continuing the fight. Later, Kevin shares his personal experience with LifeWave patches and why he decided to make them available through his own LifeWave link.

A protein has no idea where it's going. So how does it end up exactly where it needs to be, inside the nucleus, in the mitochondria, or shipped out of the cell entirely?In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly pick up where cell biology left off. After breaking down individual organelles in the last episode, they now tackle the mechanism that connects them all: the endomembrane system and the secretory pathway. This is the process by which proteins get tagged, routed, folded, modified, and shipped to their final destination, and it's one of the most overlooked-yet-testable systems on the MCAT.Get started with our resources!

How Eight Days Of Hope Builds Safe Homes For Trafficking Survivors A doorknob that never turns in the night should be ordinary, but for many trafficking survivors it feels like a miracle. That single detail becomes a thread we keep pulling as we return to Retreat to Peace with a raw personal update and a conversation that doesn't let us look away from what's happening in our towns, our travel stops, and sometimes even our own families. I start by sharing my own testimony after multiple jaw surgeries and an exhausting recovery that brought pain, isolation, and a desperate 2:30 AM cry to God. I also share a terrifying spiritual moment that forced me to fight for peace in real time and how I later learned a friend was prompted to wake up at the exact same hour to pray for me. If you've ever wondered whether prayer matters when you feel helpless, this story will meet you right where you are. Then I'm joined by Steve Tybor, founder of Eight Days of Hope, a Christian disaster relief and rebuilding ministry that now also builds safe homes and healing campuses for women and children rescued from human trafficking. We talk honestly about why trafficking happens, how pornography and addiction fuel demand, how grooming works, and why most trafficking doesn't look like the movies. Steve shares practical warning signs to watch for, common red flags in places like hotels and “massage parlors,” and what a real path to survivor healing can require: safety, counseling, medical support, and long-term trauma-informed care. If this conversation stirs you, don't let it stop at awareness.

We go deeper inside the human remains trafficking network uncovered through the Jeremy Pauley investigation. In Part 2 of The Body Trade, we follow additional buyers and sellers, including James Nott and Andrew Ensanian while examining the underground market for human skulls, bones, body parts, and other remains. As the federal cases come to an end, we investigate what happened to the larger community buying and selling human remains, and whether the body trade ever really disappeared.Watch the full episode on YouTube:▶ https://bit.ly/TheoriesOfTheThirdKindYTSupport the show + unlock bonus episodes:

Six women who said they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein filed a new lawsuit in New York against his estate and its co-executors, longtime attorney Darren Indyke and longtime accountant Richard Kahn. The women alleged they were between 16 and 24 years old when Epstein began abusing them between 2001 and 2005, and brought their claims under New York City's Gender-Motivated Violence Act. The lawsuit went beyond accusing Epstein alone, alleging that Indyke and Kahn played critical roles in enabling his trafficking operation by providing the financial, legal and administrative infrastructure that allowed it to function. The complaint portrayed Indyke as someone who managed financial and legal matters connected to Epstein's operation and alleged that he withdrew cash in amounts designed to avoid federal reporting requirements, while Kahn was described as the de facto financial manager who handled expenses. Epstein and his entities allegedly paid more than $16 million to Indyke and $10 million to Kahn over the course of their relationships.The lawsuit added to the continuing effort by Epstein survivors to hold the people surrounding him financially accountable rather than treating his crimes as the work of an isolated individual. Earlier in 2026, Epstein's estate, Indyke and Kahn agreed to pay $35 million to resolve claims involving at least 40 victims, following the $121 million distributed to 136 claimants through the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program and another $48 million settlement involving 59 victims. A similar lawsuit brought by seven women had already survived a major attempt by Indyke and Kahn to have it dismissed, although the judge rejected punitive damages against the estate itself. Indyke and Kahn denied knowingly facilitating Epstein's abuse or trafficking, arguing through their attorney that neither man had been accused of committing or witnessing sexual abuse or of receiving reports about it. The new case nevertheless again put the machinery surrounding Epstein at the center of the litigation, asking whether the lawyers, accountants and financial administrators who helped manage his enormous fortune also helped create the infrastructure that allowed his abuse to continue.to contact me:Epstein Estate Sued in New York Over Trafficking, Sex Abuse (2)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Intelligence analyst and Morningside Analytics CEO Carolina Kallaus joins the program to expose some of the most disturbing trends she is uncovering through her work in digital forensics and high-stakes intelligence.We discuss the growing world of human trafficking, fraud, online impersonation and sophisticated digital manipulation—and how rapidly advancing AI is giving criminals entirely new capabilities.One of the most alarming trends Kallaus is seeing is the rise of sextortion. She explains how criminals can use intimate or fabricated material to extort money, destroy reputations and manipulate their targets—and why AI dramatically expands who can become a victim. As the line between what is real and what can be convincingly manufactured continues to disappear, Kallaus warns that virtually anyone can become a target.Learn more about her work and Morningside Analytics at morningsideapi.com.See the exclusives on Substack at SarahWestall.Substack.com.

From viral celebrity moments to major headlines, The Rickey Smiley Morning Show tackled the stories everyone is talking about. The crew weighed in on rapper Young Thug sparking debate after telling students in Georgia that “fame is like money” and one of the most important assets a person can have, a message that quickly went viral and generated mixed reactions online about success in the social media era. Meanwhile, boxing champion Claressa Shields had fans buzzing after joking on social media that she might be pregnant following her dominant victory over Kaye Scott, a win that improved her unbeaten record and saw her reclaim the WBA and WBC middleweight titles. The show also dug into the ongoing chatter surrounding Shield’s relationship with Papoose and the public speculation that continues to follow the couple. Sports and crime news also dominated the conversation. A viral WNBA moment had fans debating whether Caitlin Clark was laughing at Angel Reese after Reese missed a potential game-winning layup in the Atlanta Dream’s overtime loss to the Indiana Fever, adding another chapter to one of basketball’s biggest rivalries.

Leanne McCallum Desselle joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore what happens when a hurricane knocks out the very systems built to catch trafficking — from a child abuse hotline down for three weeks after Hurricane Ida to the disaster recovery jobs where exploitation quietly takes hold.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction (01:39) - An International Lens on a Uniquely American Blind Spot (04:17) - The Signal International Case After Katrina (07:36) - From the Ground in Louisiana to a Researcher's Path (11:13) - Why Research Doesn't Reach the People Who Need It (14:50) - Who Disasters Make Vulnerable to Trafficking (20:18) - Responding in the First Days — and How to Prepare Before the Storm (25:22) - Creative Partnerships That Kept Services Running (28:27) - Turning Research Into Policy and Practice (34:32) - Advice for Researchers Entering This Space About Leanne McCallum DesselleLeanne McCallum Desselle is a Research Analyst and Training & Technical Assistance Provider at RTI International, a role she has held since August 2022. She spent nearly a decade in frontline anti-trafficking work in Louisiana, coordinating the Greater New Orleans Human Trafficking Task Force for more than three years and later managing a statewide child and youth trafficking initiative for the Louisiana Alliance of Children's Advocacy Centers. In 2018 she was appointed Chair of the Labor Trafficking Committee for the Louisiana Governor's Human Trafficking Prevention Commission and Advisory Board. At RTI, she leads technical assistance for a U.S. Office for Victims of Crime initiative on child and youth trafficking outcomes and contributes to research on labor trafficking prosecutions and the effects of disasters on trafficking vulnerability. She holds a Master of Arts in International Studies, concentrating in Human Rights and Human Trafficking, from the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs, and a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from Linfield University.Key Points• Hurricane Katrina's Signal International case, in which hundreds of Indian guest workers were defrauded and trafficked into labor repairing Gulf oil rigs, became one of the largest labor trafficking settlements at the time and helped drive Louisiana's first designated federal anti-trafficking funding in 2007-2008.• Housing instability is one of the biggest drivers of post-disaster trafficking risk — when people lose their community, school, and church, they become far more vulnerable to someone who says, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll get you a job."• Disasters disproportionately hit communities already made vulnerable by redlining, the historical practice of confining people of color and poor families to lower-lying land that's more exposed to flooding and severe weather.• In interviews with 46 disaster and trafficking responders, foreign national day laborers doing disaster recovery work and isolated children in disrupted households emerged as two of the populations most vulnerable to exploitation after a storm.• After Hurricane Ida, Louisiana's child abuse hotline — the mandated channel for reporting child trafficking — was down for at least three weeks, leaving responders with no way to report what they saw.• Preparation has to happen before a disaster, not during one: without a plan already tested and rehearsed, coordinating a trafficking response becomes nearly impossible once phones, power, and staff are all unreachable at once.• Louisiana responders found creative workarounds under pressure, from standing up a mobile forensic interview unit in a neighboring parish within 24 hours to running child trafficking response operations out of a partner's building after their own offices were destroyed.• Leanne and her RTI colleagues sent their findings directly to the Louisiana Human Trafficking Prevention Commission and Advisory Board, which is now recommending changes to state labor procurement practices to help prevent forced labor.Resources• RTI International• Human Trafficking in the Wake of Natural Disasters (RTI research project page)• Human Trafficking in the Wake of Natural Disasters: A Case Study of Preparedness and Response in Louisiana (Violence and Victims, 2026)• The Intersection of Human Trafficking and Natural Disasters: A Scoping Review (Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, 2024)• Advancing the Field: Human Trafficking and Natural Disasters — Recommendations for the Louisiana Human Trafficking Prevention Commission and Advisory Board• Labor Trafficking in Construction During the Recovery and Reconstruction from a Natural Disaster (OPRE Report, Barrick & Pfeffer)• Louisiana Human Trafficking Prevention Commission and Advisory Board• David, et al. v.

DescriptionIn this episode of Perfect Prey, I'm joined by Jayden Posen, a survivor and advocate who shares her powerful story of coercive control, grooming, sexual violence, trafficking, and systemic failure.Jayden discusses how abuse can begin through manipulation and trust, how perpetrators use psychological tactics to gain control, and what happens when survivors speak up but the systems meant to protect them fail to listen.This conversation is a reminder of why we need to recognize grooming, understand coercive control, and take survivors seriously.What we cover• Jayden's experiences of sexual violence and systemic failure beginning at age 14• How “boys will be boys” normalizes harmful behavior and prevents accountability• The connection between coercive control, sexual violence, and power• How threats of self-harm can be used as a coercive control tactic• Social media, pornography, misogyny, and the influence of online personalities• Human trafficking, exploitation, and the vulnerabilities within nightlife environments• Why survivors are so often asked the wrong questions• Victim-blaming, silence, and the pressure to protect institutions and reputations• The role of bystanders and the importance of accountability• Why young people need better education around consent, boundaries, power, and healthy relationships• Jayden's work toward the Nightlife Safety and Accountability ActWhy listenJayden's story is a powerful reminder that abuse does not always begin with violence. It can begin with grooming, attention, manipulation, threats, and the gradual erosion of a person's autonomy.This conversation also asks us to look beyond individual incidents and examine the systems, cultural messages, technology, and institutions that can allow abuse to continue.For parents, educators, advocates, clinicians, survivors, and anyone working with young people, this episode offers an important conversation about recognizing coercive control, challenging victim-blaming, and creating environments where accountability matters.Guest bioJayden Posen is a survivor, advocate, and public speaker who uses her lived experience to raise awareness about sexual violence, exploitation, attempted trafficking, coercive control, and systemic failure. After experiencing repeated harm from a young age, Jayden now speaks publicly about survivor advocacy, nightlife safety, accountability, and the need for stronger protections for vulnerable people.She is also developing the Nightlife Safety and Accountability Act, a policy initiative focused on prevention, accountability, trafficking prevention, public safety, and protecting vulnerable people in nightlife environments.Connect with JaydenInstagram: @jaydenposen on InstagramWebsite: JaydenPosen.infoEmail: jaydenposen.outreach@gmail.comLearn more about Jayden's advocacy and the Nightlife Safety and Accountability Act through her website and social media.Connect with Dr. Christine:Protective Parenting Program: Protective Parenting ProgramOfficial site: Coercive Control ConsultingYouTube: Dr. Christine Cocchiola on YouTubeTikTok: Dr. Christine Cocchiola on TikTokInstagram: Dr. Christine Cocchiola on InstagramTEDxTalk: It is ALL Coercive Control — TEDxBooks:FramedEvery Moment of Every DayIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, subscribe for more trauma-informed conversations, and consider leaving a review.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls have been a problem in Canada for decades, and one that went ignored for far too long. Going back to the late 60s, women and girls were taken especially along a stretch of road in British Columbia known as The Highway of Tears. But now, there is a new highway of tears. By tracking sex ads posted online, a team from Thompson Reuters was able to follow the routes traffickers used to move their victims from one end of the country to the next, following along some of Canada's busiest highways and airports. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with, Temur Durrani, a national correspondent for the Globe and Mail based out of Manitoba, who's done in-depth coverage of sex trafficking and the report, to break down the information, and learn what it might tell us about how to fight this criminal enterprise.  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Before Kaila was old enough to fully understand her body she became the target of an old racist myth spread by a classmate, about the sexual anatomy of Asian girls. Like many of us who encountered harassment this early, she'd soon learn his comments were only the tip of a bigoted iceberg. Do you remember the first time you were confronted with a stereotype that would resurface throughout your entire life? Kaila Yu is the author of Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism and Beauty.

In this episode, we're joined by Liberty Sarkar, Certification Manager of Safe House Project and Amanda Pulley, survivor leader and Founder of Wild Hope Brainspotting and Consulting to discuss Safe House Project's Ally Training. This training is a comprehensive, trauma-informed certification program designed to equip professionals, advocates, and allies with the skills necessary to support survivors of human trafficking effectively. Additionally, Amanda and Liberty unpack common myths about trafficking that this training seeks to address, and explore why understanding our own neurobiology changes how we respond, not react to survivors.  Lastly, they'll share about how the Ally training provides advocates the tools needed to elevate and ground their work in compassion and sustainable best practices.  If you'd like to check out a sample of this training, visit: https://training.safehouseproject.org/library If you'd like to check out Safe House Project's other professional trainings and resources, or to support their work, visit: https://www.safehouseproject.org

Evan Ellis notes former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández returned to Honduras following a pardon by President Trump, despite previous US convictions for cocaine trafficking. In Venezuela, the US has collected over $13 billion in oil revenue, yet economic recovery remains muted following recent earthquakes. The lack of transparency regarding these funds raises concerns about their management under the Rodríguez regime. Simultaneously, Colombia's new leader faces the challenge of dismantling entrenched cocaine cartels. (3)1900 MEXICO

I sat down with Susan Peters, CEO of Unbound Now, to discuss the myths that keep people from recognizing trafficking and how we can respond when something doesn't seem right. Susan explains that trafficking rarely looks like movies portray it. Instead, victims are often groomed over time through manipulation and relationships with people they already know. Susan and I discuss how parents, teachers, coaches, and community members can recognize warning signs and what to do when something doesn't seem right. We also talk about the hope found in restoration and how survivors can heal with compassionate support. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone who wants to make a difference, this conversation equips you with practical knowledge and encourages you to become a safe, attentive presence in your community.
