Human Trafficking: Prevention, Recovery, and Hope
Human trafficking generates hundreds of billions of dollars in illegal profits every year, making it one of the largest criminal industries in the world. But behind every statistic is a real person, a real story, and a real need for hope.
In this episode of Words of Life, our Biblical Justice Roundtable takes an honest look at human trafficking, exploitation, modern slavery, and the work being done to prevent trafficking and support survivors. Joining the conversation are ministry leaders who have spent years working directly with vulnerable populations, survivor advocacy programs, anti-trafficking initiatives, and prevention efforts.
Together, they explore what human trafficking actually is, common misconceptions about trafficking, how traffickers groom and exploit vulnerable individuals, and why trafficking often remains hidden in plain sight.
