Mo Farah
Hardly a week goes by without some horrific trafficking stories flooding the news wires, however, there are few more shocking than that of Mo Farah.

Trafficking Misconceptions
Recently the Human Trafficking Institute released its annual report documenting various aspects of trafficking, from profiles of victims and criminals to the myriad of ways it occurs. While the report is based on cases filed in the US federal system in 2021, it also tracks differences from previous years so that law enforcement, policy-makers, and […]
Educating Survivors
Human trafficking robs its victims of many things – from mental and physical freedom to self-esteem and the ability to form healthy relationships – all of which must be recovered (or discovered for the first time) as part of the healing process. For many survivors, however, education is another basic right that has been denied […]
Trauma-Informed: A Necessary Approach for Hope and Healing
On April 29, Suamhirs Piraino-Guzman was awarded the Special Courage Award by The Office for Victims of Crime (which falls under the umbrella of the Justice Department), for his tireless efforts to educate others about human trafficking in the U.S. and around the world. According to the press release, the award “honors a victim or survivor […]
Not an Easy Road After Rescue
One of the reasons trafficking is such a horrific crime is its far-reaching effects on victims long after they escape or are rescued from physical danger. The aftermath affects every aspect of life, from their ability to form healthy relationships and trust their own judgment to their opportunities to achieve financial independence due to gaps […]
Healing
In past posts we’ve discussed the many ways in which people can fall victim to trafficking and the difficulties faced by law enforcement, government agencies, and NGOs in their attempts to eradicate this global epidemic. For survivors of trafficking, however, the real work begins after they are rescued or escape from captivity. Though the extent […]
Role of NGOs in Fighting Trafficking
U.S. and Sweden’s antitrafficking efforts have been held out as the most aggressive in the world, with both nations expending a great deal of financial and human resources dedicated to eradicating it.

Sadhvi Siddhali Shree: Spreading Awareness and Hope Through Film
In previous posts we’ve discussed how education about human trafficking is one of – if not the most important – tools to ending its scourge in every corner of our world.

Europe’s Other Battleground
It is a well-known fact that human traffickers are the worst kind of opportunists, targeting the most vulnerable populations – children and young women, immigrants, and those suffering from economic hardship. Times of political and social unrest often present unchecked opportunities for them, as overwhelmed governments and law enforcement officials are focused on dealing with […]
Being Approached in Malls
As 2021 draws to a close, people the world over are looking forward to celebrating the holidays with some semblance of normalcy after nearly two years of Zoom gatherings. Most businesses have reopened, including malls and restaurants, hopefully ushering in a period of economic recovery. Unfortunately, this also means an increased risk for those vulnerable […]
Trafficking at Special Events
On October 23, a man from New Haven, Connecticut was convicted of trafficking a woman and two underage girls at the 2020 Superbowl. He had brought the victims to Miami and, according to prosecutors, “emotionally, psychologically and financially coerced” them into having sex for money. This was apparently just one stop in a planned tour […]
Raising Awareness is Key to Fighting Trafficking
The 2007 film Eastern Promises shined a light on the horrors of human trafficking – in this case, a forced prostitution ring run by an organized crime family. A pregnant fourteen-year-old girl walks into a London pharmacy and, in broken English, begs for help. Later, after she dies during childbirth, her journal reveals that she […]
Four Stages of Recovery from Trafficking
Individuals who escape or are rescued from trafficking have a real chance to live productive, healthy lives; that said, there is a recognized process that the vast majority, if not all, will go through before they can feel like they have fully joined society. This process is categorized by the following four stages. Victim – […]
