“To protect millions of victims...and end the public subsidy of criminal profits, every business leader needs to take accountability for eliminating modern slavery from their supply chains and working to eradicate it across society.” A new op-ed from Kelsey Morgan, PhD discusses what business leaders can do to prevent human traffickers from profiting off of the most vulnerable. A few of Dr. Morgan's crucial recommendations: ?? Championing stronger labor laws ?? Holding supply chains to zero-tolerance policies ?? Supporting organizations that provide direct services to survivors ?? Serving on the board of a human rights organization Read more: https://lnkd.in/gtgbBXf2 #OpEd #FastCompany #business #leaders #humanrights

“Major sporting events, big conferences, they draw crowds who are seeking entertainment…we have a huge increase of folks wanting commercial sex particularly from minors. Traffickers target these events knowing there’s a demand for those ‘services.’” Amidst the buzz of the Las Vegas GP 2024 last weekend, Kelsey spoke with NBC and ARC news on on staying vigilant against trafficking as major events with large numbers of transient visitors drive demand for commercial sexual exploitation.

“I know that I am not the only victim…The person who needed help is now the one who will offer it.” When she was 11 years old, Jean Ann was coerced into online sexual exploitation. In 2022, nearly half a million Filipino children were trafficked to produce sexual online content. Our team in the Philippines receives hundreds of cases for children who need urgent safety, counseling, and support after surviving such abuse, often at the hands of their own families. When Jean Ann enrolled in EverFree’s programs, she met with our team of dedicated experts who respected her dignity and her journey, who understood her individual needs and what resources empowered her to thrive. Today, she helps others as a medical social worker and hopes to start her own foundation to help vulnerable children. Your support empowers survivors like Jean Ann who now long to serve others in their communities. Give today: https://bit.ly/3Z85iOI #survivorstory #philippines #strong #resilient #freedom

I have been on the board of EverFree for many years. The work they are doing with Freedom Life Map, a tool that helps track changes in trafficking survivors' recoveries is absolutely incredible. It's bringing data and insight to a field where it has been lacking for far too long. Incredibly honored to get to support this organization.

?? This news was a bit bananas. We may not understand the a-peel of ephemeral banana art, but what we do know is how your dollars can make a true and lasting impact to change the world for good. How far can $6.2 million go in bringing critical care and resources to survivors? It could cover critical medical care for 31,000 survivors or legal fees for nearly 5000 survivors to pursue justice. When you give to EverFree, you KNOW your gift can leads to change that lasts (certainly much longer than a banana ever could).

Human trafficking is predicted to rise by 14% in the next two decades. We cannot afford to let that happen. We cannot live in a world where human beings are still enslaved.

Together with the UCI Blum Center for Poverty Alleviation, EverFree hosted our Symposium, “Exploitation is Not Sustainable,” a pivotal event dedicated to addressing the urgent issue of human trafficking in Orange County. The symposium will brought together key stakeholders, including donors, partners, and community leaders, to delve into the complexities of trafficking and exploitation, with a particular focus on local impacts and solutions. Central to the symposium was the demonstration of EverFree's Freedom Lifemap, its effectiveness and its ability to provide data-driven insights and strengthen effective interventions for combating trafficking and supporting survivors. #freedomlifemap #lifemap #universityofcalifornia #irvine #orangecounty
