SUMMARY:Combating International Human Trafficking with Heather Fischer
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 24.9 million people around the world.* \nIn the summer of 2020\, the hashtag #SaveTheChildren/#SaveOurChildren coopted global concern over human trafficking to further QAnon conspiracy and misinformation. \nWhen confronted with such a widespread and urgent issue\, how do we decipher fact from fiction? What can we do to combat global human trafficking? \nHeather Fischer is a senior advisor for human trafficking in the Philanthropy sector\, who most recently served as the first-ever White House special advisor for human trafficking. She joins us to discuss the extent of the problem\, what it looks like\, and how we can help end trafficking around the world \n*Definition from the Polaris Project \nRSVP\n  \nThis event is part of the State of the World series. \nSubscribe to watch past episodes and get notified about future episodes on your favorite platform: \nCTWAC YouTube Channel | Apple Podcasts | Spotify Podcasts | Google Podcasts
