Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Matt Friedman and they discuss how businesses play a role in combatting human trafficking by auditing their supply chains, educating corporate executives, and developing tools for businesses. Matt Friedman Matt Friedman is an international human trafficking expert. From 2006 to 2012, Matt was the Regional Project Manager of the United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking (UNIAP) in Thailand, an inter-agency coordinating body that links the United Nations system with governments and civil society groups in China, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. From 1991-2006, Matt worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Thailand, Bangladesh and Nepal. For over a decade, he worked passionately to design and manage both domestic and regional human trafficking programs. He also helped establish a counter-trafficking regional training centre, participated in resource mobilization, and produced two award-winning international films about sex trafficking. Matt is a technical advisor to numerous governments. He is frequently cited in the news media, has been invited to speak at major conferences around the world, and is the author of nine books. Key Points About 0.2% victims of human trafficking receive any assistance. Business can be a catalyst for change due to the presence of labor trafficking in supply chains and the consequences of neglecting to address it. "Rescuing" a victim involves understanding the desperation that brought them to exploitation and the opportunities they have access to after. In order for change to happen, corporate executives need to understand the problem and their own company's supply chain and recruitment methods. Resources The Mekong Club Where Were You?

And we've many times had a conversation that involves the word "global". It's even in the name of the Global Center for Women and Justice. Today, I know that Matt is going to really help us with some wonderful perspective on both, of looking at things through the lens of business, but also to be able to look at our world as we really need to in almost every context through a global lens.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Dr. Anne Light to discuss the ways we can rebuild the brain, including meditation, cognitive and behavioral therapy, and medications. Dr. Anne Light Dr. Anne Light, MD Dr. Anne Light is a pediatrician specializing in childhood trauma. She earned her MD from Harvard Medical School (2005) and completed residency training in pediatrics at Massachusetts General Hospital (2008) with a focus in trauma and emergency care. Until 2015 she worked as pediatric provider within the Massachusetts General/Partners system and led several multidisciplinary collaborations to improve patient care and trauma outcomes. In addition, from 2008-2011 Dr. Light served as the Executive Director of a nonprofit to optimize early learning in children aged zero to three.

Key Points ACE, adverse childhood events, studies have highlighted the effects of neglect on child development. Trauma can neurologically affect brain development in youth by putting more emphasis on the fight-flight-freeze response, and less emphasis on the development of  stop, think, solve. The neuroplasticity of the brain allows individuals to continuously grow, no matter the age. Meditation can help rebalance the blood flow in your brain and allow underdeveloped regions grow.

Sandie, I'm so looking forward to this conversation today, like I am for for so many of our conversations because I learn something new and one thing I realized in preparation for today's conversation about the fishing industry is I know very little about this industry. And of course, as we've talked about so often on the show, there's so many different aspects of trafficking and it touches, unfortunately, every industry in some way. Today, we're going to study the issues even more so we can ultimately be a voice and make a difference in all the work that we're doing. And I'm so glad to welcome Chris Field to the show today. He is the founder and executive director of Mercy Project. He traveled to Ghana for the first time in August 2009 and has since been on a mission to bring new life to children in slavery, as well as empower those around him to make the world a better place.

Chris [00:01:51] Dave, Sandie, thank you guys so much for having me. It's truly an honor to be with you. Sandie [00:01:56] Well, Dave, I already had one conversation with Chris and we couldn't fit it all into a half an hour, so we're going to dive right in and do our best today. Let's start by reframing the word rescue. Chris, typically I imagine people running out of a burning house and the fireman running in to rescue any other occupants. But your definition is a little different. Can you expand on that? Chris [00:02:31] Yeah, of course. I mean, first, let me say we've had as a community and as an organization, we've had dozens of hours of conversation around this word because we don't want it to connote this savior complex of some sort and we've really struggled over the word. Is there a better word to explain what it is that happens in a community when children who have been bought for 20, 30,

Co-hosts, Dr. Sandra Morgan and Dr. Dave Stachowiak, discuss the wellbeing of all our children. The emphasize the need to provide access to education and access to social services in order to see that all the children are fine, which will lead to a strong community. Key Points High percentage of youth who have been identified as CSEC were also previously identified by Social Services for prior abuse. ACEs screening tests serve as a preventative tool to provide resources to youth who are vulnerable. From 2019-2020, child labor increased for the first time in two decades. Corporations and consumers play a role in demanding fair labor.

Sandie [00:00:34] And my name is Sandie Morgan. Dave [00:00:37] And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Sandie, in our last episode, we talked to Stephan Lambert about all of the current issues with substance abuse going on with kids and teens right now. It's a fascinating and difficult conversation, but such an important one. I hope folks will go revisit if they haven't already heard it. And it's a great lead-in to today's conversation, isn't it? How are all the children? Sandie [00:01:11] Oh my goodness. Yeah. The timing couldn't have been better, really. And back at Vanguard, our students are back in person and it's a very different environment, and anxiety and stress responses are different. But I was inspired by a school superintendent from Long Beach a few months ago who mentioned there is an African greeting that says, How are the children? And I thought, that's pretty interesting. So I dug into it and spent a few hours on the internet reading and discovered that there is a Maasai warrior greeting. And the key here, Dave, is warrior. The key word. And I think sometimes we think the frontline in human trafficking is raiding brothels. But over and over again, I come back to prevention and that starts in childhood. So these warriors greet each other and Maasai warriors are very tall and very strong, and they look intimidating. And so when they greet each other with how are all the children, the correct response if you're protecting your village is all the children are fine. So Dave, you're a Maasai warrior. I'm a Maasai warrior. How are all the children, Dave? Dave [00:02:53] All the children are fine. Or, are they not are? Sandie [00:02:58] Ah, and I was telling this story at Priceless and Judge Maria Hernandez and Judge Joanne Motoike, who have worked with our children CSEC survivors for years, both said at the same time, all the children are not fine. And that's why I believe that we need to reframe prevention as the front line. And if you start thinking about what that looks like, we aren't going to have the number of victims further on down the road if we do p...

Key Points Establishing a collective of trauma-informed pro-bono legal services for survivors of human trafficking. There is a consequential need to have trauma-informed lawyers who understand the complex trauma that survivors have faced in order to prevent retraumatization and build trustful relationships. Many survivors seek vacatur or expungement of crimes that are directly related to their exploitation. Victim witnesses play a significant role as advocates for survivors who are navigating the legal system. Restitution to survivors gives them the resources to become financially independent.

Production Credits [00:00:09] Produced by Innovate Learning, maximizing human potential. Dave [00:00:29] Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. My name is Dave Stachowiak. Sandie [00:00:35] And my name is Sandie Morgan. Dave [00:00:38] 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, Sandie, so glad that we have an expert with us to really look at labor trafficking outreach in more detail. I'm so glad to welcome to the show today Rachel Parker. She has led World Relief Triad's anti-human trafficking program for 10 years. She has a master's in international studies from East Carolina University. Rachel coordinates and supervises outreach and direct services for survivors of both labor and sex trafficking, as well as supervising the coordination of the Triad Labor Trafficking Task Force, the Guilford Minor Trafficking Response Team, and the Triad Rapid Response Team to support victim identification and effective responses across Guilford, Forsyth and Davidson counties. We're so glad to welcome you to the show, Rachel. Rachel [00:01:32] Thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate it. Sandie [00:01:35] I'm really excited to have this conversation today, Rachel. I think in recent days I've talked to so many victim service providers who were surprised when they learned from the survivors that they weren't looking for someone to rescue them. They didn't even know that anyone was looking for them. They didn't identify as a victim, and they often were a little concerned when people approached them that they might get in trouble or lose their job, all kinds of other things. So learning to do outreach to identify victims of labor trafficking is a little different than identifying victims of sex trafficking. And that might be one of the issues we need to be addressing to improve our record of identifying labor trafficking.

260: Labor Trafficking Outreach with Rachel Parker

Dr. Sandra Morgan and Dr. Corey Rood discuss what screening tools are, their prevalence in prevention and identification of human trafficking, and how diverse human trafficking screen tools are due to the complex nature of human trafficking and exploitation. Corey Rood, MD Dr. Corey Rood is the Medical Director of Child Abuse Pediatrics with the Department of Pediatrics at UC Irvine, the CAST medical clinic, and the Child Abuse & Prevention Team at Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Long Beach. He is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics with the UC Irvine School of Medicine. As a Child Abuse Pediatrician, his work focuses on the diagnosis, care, and management of potentially abused and neglected children. Dr. Rood’s clinical and research interests and expertise include commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC) including human trafficking, both international and domestic. Dr. Rood’s research endeavors include recent studies on sexting and online sexual solicitation exposure amongst adolescents with suspected sexual abuse, and human trafficking screening of adolescent patients. Key Points Screening tools are a set of questions to define a specific characteristic. There is no one screening tool for human trafficking since human trafficking is a complex issue that requires adjustments based on the target population. Validated screening tools should be developed with the target populations characteristics, such as age, language, and mental development. Screening should be viewed as a conversation starter that is culturally sensitive, trauma informed, and victim centered.

Today Sandie, I'm so glad for us to be able to have an expert on the show who's going to help us to learn even more about looking at this through the lens of children. So many complex situations, of course, that emerge. And I'm so grateful for the experts that take their time to teach us. I'm pleased to introduce to you Dr. Corey Rood.

259: Which Screening Tool Should I Use, with Dr. Corey Rood

Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by advocate, Elizabeth Smart to discuss the importance of teaching young children how to protect themself, safe boundaries, and how to know who to trust. They conclude the conversation with the topic of bystanders and how everyday people can play a role in protecting women, men, and children. Elizabeth Smart The abduction of Elizabeth Smart was one of the most followed child abduction cases of our time. Elizabeth was abducted from her home at the age of 14 on the night of June 5, 2002. For the next nine months, her captors controlled her by threatening to kill her and her family if she tried to escape. Fortunately, her grueling imprisonment ended on March 12, 2003, when an observant and courageous bystander took action, alerting the police and ultimately leading to her safe return to her family. Elizabeth triumphantly testified before her captors and the world about the very private nightmare she suffered during her abduction, which led to their convictions. Through this traumatic experience, Elizabeth has become an advocate for change related to child abduction, recovery programs, and national legislation.  Elizabeth has helped promote the international AMBER Alert system, the Adam Walsh Child Protection & Safety Act and other safety legislation to help prevent abductions. She is the founder of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing hope and ending the victimization and exploitation of sexual assault through prevention, recovery, and advocacy. Key Points Having conversations with your children when they are young about protecting themself in a dangerous situation. And to continue having those conversations so they practice, learn, and understand how to protect themselves. Adding "appease" to the fight, flight, freeze response paradigm and understanding that some people will go along with their captor/trafficker to appease them and to deter any threats of harm. Teaching children about personal boundaries, and as the adult, to validate those boundaries as okay and right. Bystanders play a pivotal role in protecting women, men, and children and preventing harm if they see something that does not appear right.
