The Off Ramp4 Kesä 2021

The Sources of Human Trafficking

We recorded this podcast two months ago, several weeks after the tragic shooting in Atlanta. For some, that event feels like forever ago. And for others, it continues to carry with it sorrow and grief and trauma and fear. In today's conversation we speak with Cynthia Aulds of the Coalition to Combat Human Trafficking in Texas about human trafficking and its sources ranging from race and gender which both played a role in the Atlanta shootings as well as displacement and poverty as we're seeing along the US/Mexico border. We did not air this podcast two months ago because we wanted to point to the need for this to be a conversation that is ongoing, that is always important, not one that takes place only when it's in the news and then quickly subsides. We should not rely on the news cycle to drive our conversations and our actions because human trafficking doesn't rely on the news cycle to take place. It's an everyday reality and not on the other side of the world but in our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. https://www.cchttx.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CCHTTX https://www.instagram.com/ccht_tx
