131: Child Trafficking is Terrible. 'Sound of Freedom' Misses the Point.
Manage episode 371731468 series 2611754
While "Sound of Freedom" rakes in the profits in the US box office, there are still children in exploitative circumstances. Are search and rescue missions the most effective way of rehabilitating them? We bring you a Christian anti-trafficking expert who has seen the harmful impacts of well-intentioned evangelicals and knows that there's a better way forward.
We talk about:
- how this movie harms anti trafficking work
- the trafficking of children happens primarily through exploitative and forced labor
- how our dollars fund child slavery (hint: check your pantry)
- evidence-based models for successful anti trafficking work
- organizations you can trust with your dollars
Full show notes here (with all the organization links!)
