We’re coming at you with a bonus episode from our World Wide Web series, and it’s a conversation that needs to be had. With human trafficking being one of the biggest illegal trade business in the world (with a whopping 40.3 million people enslaved by it right now) it’s easy to keep this issue at arms length, thinking it only happens to to other people in far away places. But what if we told you that human trafficking can happen in your own home - to your kids, your siblings, your friends, or even yourself? With the rise of social media and how we are increasingly living our lives on the internet, the crime has found a whole new way to exploit people in the devices that we keep in our hands all day. Join us as we sit down with Kat Lewis of anti-human trafficking organization A21 UK and discuss the realities of slavery today, and how we all can be a key player in its end once and for all.
