100 – What do you want to know? Apr 23, 2015

Show notes

During this episode, GCWJ Director Dr. Sandra Morgan and Board Member Dave Stachowiak celebrate the 100th episode Ending Human Trafficking Podcast by answering your questions and requests!

Sandra shares about the illustration of the teaspoon and the faucet story which can be found in Ron Sider’s book “Good News, Good Works”. A faucet strategy can be seen in the issue with pornography to reduce demand and raise awareness and even as simple as the decision to buy fair trade chocolate that there is no child slavery involved. The teaspoon strategy involves rescuing victims, advocating for better laws, and the aftercare of victims of human trafficking.

What is pimping and what is pandering? Sandra explains the definitions and distinctions between these two terms.

Sandra also shares resources and information about different organizations and groups in which individuals can volunteer for.

Also, learn about the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast toolkits! EHT podcast toolkits involves a small group getting together for three weeks during the National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, listening to a podcast a week and meeting during lunch or after work to discuss it.

Lastly, Sandra and Dave share their favorite podcasts. Thank you to everyone who has submitted questions and comments, this podcast has been successful thanks to our listeners and in helping us to get the message out about ending Human Trafficking!

99 – Pornography: Driving Demand Apr 09, 2015

Show notes

On this episode of the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast, GCWJ Director Sandra Morgan and Board Member Dave Stachowiak welcome special guest, Jean R. Morgan, Jr., who is also Sandra’s husband. Prior to his work at Dale Carnegie, Jean served as the Director of Hellenic Theological School in Athens, Greece. He served United States Military families as a pastor in Stuttgart, Germany during the Persian Gulf era. Living in Europe for 17 years, he developed a strong cross cultural competency. He also served six years in the US Navy.

During this podcast, Sandra, Dave, and Jean discuss the connection between pornography and human trafficking. Pornography feeds the demand side of human trafficking, contributes to the sexual exploitation of children, and drives more vitcims. Pornography is defined as commercial sex for mass consumption— the purchase of another person’s body or the image of that body for one’s own sexual gratification. Porn is harmful in three ways that affects the brain, heart, and the world.

Are we part of the problem? Before we can be a part of the solution to end human trafficking, we need to make sure we are not a part of the problem. If you are purchasing or watching porn you are feeding the Sex Trafficking industry.

98 – What’s a Sustainable Development Goal and Why Does it Matter in Anti-Human Trafficking? Mar 26, 2015

Show notes

On this episode of the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast, GCWJ Director Sandra Morgan and Board Member Dave Stachowiak discuss Sandra’s recent participation at the Commission for Social Development at the United Nations. As a panelist on the only human trafficking panel, Sandra engaged with world leaders looking at the intersection of economic and social development, an intersection where trade in human beings continues to thrive. Economnic and social development are integral threads in untangling the complexity of modern day slavery.

Sandra promoted the adoption of SDG proposals based on the 2010 California Supply Chain Transparency Act, (podcast #17) which requires any company with revenues over $100 million doing business in California to provide a supply chain audit to consumers. It is vital to link the market forces that drive human trafficking to the social development goals in order to craft policies that fuel long-term change.

The 53rd session of the Commission for Social Development at the United Nations spanned ten days of dialogue and debate to design policies that wed economic growth and social development agendas. Dozens of informative panels were offered to the delegates from 91 countries.

Show notes

On this episode of the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast, GCWJ Director Sandra Morgan and Board Member Dave Stachowiak discuss a special report written by Jenee Litrell of Grossmont Unified School District in San Diego.
