    Phil Hyldgaard — How Do We Give It All Away?

    Phil Hyldgaard — How Do We Give It All Away?

    Welcome back to Justice Matters! We are thrilled to have Phil Hyldgaard, the Global COO of A21, back on the podcast. This has been in the works for some time now, and I finally got the chance to jump on a video call with my long-time friend and social impact leader!

    In this episode, we delve deep into A21's mission to eradicate slavery globally and their innovative approaches, covering the following topics:

    The Crucial Next Phase: Giving It All Away
    Phil shares how A21 is entering a pivotal phase after 15 years of dedicated work. Their mission now involves giving away resources and knowledge to empower communities, organizations, and individuals in the fight against slavery. Embedding sustainable models of anti-trafficking work is central to their strategy.

    Mutually Beneficial and Mutually Sacrificial Partnerships
    Phil discusses the key to A21's success: partnerships that are both mutually beneficial and mutually sacrificial, and also action-focused.

    Legislation and Law Enforcement Challenges
    Phil emphasizes that laws and enforcement mechanisms are often lagging behind, and addressing this gap is crucial. A21 works collaboratively with governments and businesses to tackle this issue.

    "Sound of Freedom": Success and Controversy
    We reflect on the success and controversy surrounding the film "Sound of Freedom," which addresses the horrors of human trafficking.

    Survivors as Heroes and Leaders
    Phil acknowledges the essential role of survivors of human trafficking as the real heroes and leaders in the fight against slavery. Their resilience and courage inspire and drive the work of A21.

    "Walk for Freedom" Campaign
    We talk about A21's annual awareness campaign, "Walk for Freedom," which amplifies the message against slavery on a global scale. The campaign was held on October 14 in over 70 countries around the world.

    Organic Cultural Shifts and Movements
    Phil shares insights on how real change and transformation occur organically through cultural shifts from the ground up. Movements are observed, not declared, and lasting impact emerges from grassroots efforts.

    A21: Making a Difference
    A21 is one of the most effective and trustworthy organizations in the anti-human trafficking space. They are worthy of your support in the critical mission to eradicate slavery everywhere.

    Tabea Oppliger — How the Eco-Business of 'Kitepride' Empowers Survivors of Human Trafficking

    Tabea Oppliger — How the Eco-Business of 'Kitepride' Empowers Survivors of Human Trafficking

    Tabea Oppliger was born in 1977 to Swiss parents and raised in Papua New Guinea, spending her first 16 years of life speaking mainly Pidgin English and English. Tabea then lived in Switzerland for 20 years for education and professional reasons where she also got married and gave birth to her three children.

    An unstoppable force to see justice and freedom for all, Tabea founded GlowbalAct, a charity seeking to eradicate modern day slavery. In 2014 Tabea and her family moved to Tel Aviv, Israel where they established a social business called KitePride as a solution for people formerly exploited in the sex industry and beyond. A catalyst for change, Tabea’s enthusiasm and charisma will inspire you to action.

    In this episode we discuss the real challenges of running a social business — a topic she discusses in her recent TEDx Talk. entitled "Social Business: The Balancing Act Between Head and Heart".

    A profitable social business is often conflicting and paradoxical. In order to become economically sustainable, employee productivity needs to be at the forefront. However, choosing to employ individuals with an unstable emotional and mental capacity affects productivity, efficiency, economic sustainability and stability. Tabea Oppliger wants to share more about the balancing act between the head and heart of a social business with real life stories and experience.

    To learn more about Tabea Oppliger and her Social Business you can purchase her book "No Filter" at her Kitepride website.

    You can also follow Tabea on Instagram @tabeaoppliger.
