Welcome to part one of a special two-part show with renowned advocate and expert in the field of human trafficking, and the founder of Libertas International Tyler Schwab.
I’m going to warn you that the subject we cover during this interview is deeply disturbing and shocking, but I believe necessary to uncover the tragedy that is human trafficking.
Here are some shocking numbers for you to think about. It is estimated that over 40 million victims worldwide are trapped in human trafficking today. One in four victims are children. Human trafficking generates over 150 Billion dollars annually. This sick and twisted business has to be exposed and stopped!
Tyler and his nonprofit Libertas International are doing their best to put an end to this horrible business and help the survivors of this despicable industry.
If you are a regular listener to the show, you know I like to have fun and attempt to lighten serious subjects. That wasn’t possible for this episode. We are talking about modern slavery. But I feel we need to bring this crime to light and punish the criminals who facilitate this heinous crime.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· How witnessing a crime on January 6, 2011, changed his life forever.
· Tyler’s beginnings in fighting modern slavery.
· What is Human Trafficking? You have heard it, why is in the shadows of mainstream media and pop culture?
· 40 million people trapped in Human trafficking in the world! How can this be?
· How does human trafficking generate over 150 billion a year?
· How he educated himself regarding human trafficking and how and why he started his non-profit, Libertas International.
· The border crisis and human trafficking.
· The Columbian connection.
