Jamie recently released a statement on Instagram that she is stepping away from podcasting for a while. As a team, we have decided to air the six conversations that were recorded prior to May 20th. We decided to do this to honor the guests, the projects they have worked on, and the stories they are sharing.
Victor Boutrous, the founder of the Human Trafficking Institute, joins Jamie Ivey on the Happy Hour podcast to discuss human trafficking and how it can be combated. Boutrous shares his personal experience with a trafficking case and explains the work his organization does to build specialized anti-trafficking units and prosecute traffickers. He emphasizes the importance of enforcement and the need to decimate trafficking by reducing it exponentially. Boutrous believes that millions of people can be protected from trafficking through their work.
Victor Boutros is the CEO of the Human Trafficking Institute. He was a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice’s Human Trafficking Unit. He and Gary Haugen co-authored the best-selling book The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence. Boutros is a graduate of Baylor, Harvard, Oxford, and the University of Chicago Law School. He lives with his wife, three kids and two dogs in Dallas, Texas.
The conversation will give you a better understanding of the definition of trafficking, its prevalence in the US, and the role we have in combating it. Check out our links below to get involved and put an end to human trafficking!
