Fighting Human Trafficking at Home and Abroad: Stories from the Front Lines

On this powerful episode of With Your Time, Rob Shumaker and Kristi Lee sit down with Dr. Anne Friesen of HumanTraffickingNow.com and Andrew Sveum of Freedom Rising Now on one of the most serious topics they’ve tackled—human trafficking. Dr. Friesen shares how her work in North Carolina revealed alarming levels of trafficking within the U.S., while Sveum recounts his experience inside the world’s largest brothel in Bangladesh and the international fight to protect vulnerable children. Together, they explore how trafficking intersects with organized crime, digital exploitation, and global labor abuse—and what parents, communities, and governments can do to respond.
