Did you know that human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises in the world, and that it affects millions of people globally?
In our latest episode, host Justin Bailie sits down with Heather Fry, Director of Industry Training at Truckers Against Trafficking. They delved into a critical and sobering topic: human trafficking. Heather enlightened us on the grim realities of human trafficking, a pervasive issue that affects all 50 states and every Canadian province. She shared that over 50 million people are currently enslaved, generating over $150 billion in profits for traffickers. They discuss how truckers can play a vital role in preventing it by being the eyes and ears on the road.
This episode was a powerful reminder that human trafficking is not just an abstract issue—it's happening in our backyards, and we all have a role to play in stopping it. Let's take action and support organizations like Truckers Against Trafficking.
