288 – Practical Strategies to go Beyond Awareness Ending Human Trafficking Podcast

    • Non-Profit

Sandie and Dave reflect on how far the movement has come since the Trafficking Victims Protection Act passed in October 2000, and was soon followed by the United Nations Palermo Protocol in December 2000. In 2023, we are positioned to move beyond awareness. Ending human trafficking requires everyone--educators, business leaders, social workers, attorney, nonprofits, and the church--to do more!

Dave [00:00:00] You're listening to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. This is episode number 288, Practical Strategies to Go Beyond Awareness.



Production Credits [00:00:10] 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 [00:00:37] And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. You hear us say that at the beginning of every episode, and we do invite you every time to start by studying the issues, and we often have that invitation at the end of our conversations. For those who haven't already, go to endinghumantrafficking.org to download Sandie's guide as a starting point. And yet there is so much that you can do, regardless of how much you have listened to us or what your level of expertise is, or perhaps you're just picking this up for the very first time. The mission of the Global Center for Women and Justice is to take action and to move beyond just awareness and to actually take action in order to have some wonderful things begin to move forward. And you can, regardless if you've been thinking and contributing for a decade, or perhaps you've just downloaded this episode for the first time today. There are many things you can do that go beyond awareness and that you can take action on right now. Today we're going to look at six. We're often asked, Sandie and I, what can I do to move forward? In addition to listening to the show, in addition to going on the website, what can I do to move forward? And we've got six key things for you. Things that are very timely in the next couple of months that will help you to move forward and to take action to go beyond awareness. Sandie, I'm so glad we get to have this conversation because there's a lot happening, isn't there?
