Rachel Ramenda: Shining a Light on Human Trafficking

Rachel Ramenda: Shining a Light on Human Trafficking
Rachel: Thanks so much for having me, Spiffy. I am addressing the huge challenge of human trafficking — an umbrella term that covers multiple types of exploitation, including forced labor, child labor, and sex trafficking. My organization, Stop Modern Day Slavery, educates the public on this human rights violation through online articles and social media campaigns. We provide our readers with the tools to identify trafficking in their communities and encourage them to support brands with fair labor practices over those with murky supply chains. Above all, we advocate for freedom, dignity, and fair work conditions for all.
