No Country is a Shithole
President Donald Trump reportedly questioned, “Why do we need more Haitians?” and “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” in a meeting on Thursday, January 11th.

The Trump administration's position on immigration is problematic even if Trump didn't say everything attributed to him, and a number of people are defending Trump's words as if he said them, which is highly disturbing, and also showing a lack of understa...

Libya: Slavery, Migration, and Conflict
CNN's footage of slave markets in Libya disturbed and outraged the world, as it should. It's an image we all want to be in the past. But while underground, slavery and slave auctions still exist.

Bar Women and Bar Men
Women known as 'bar girls' or 'taxi girls' entertain men in countries around the world, though most famously in Southeast and East Asia. These bar women, and sometimes bar men, may also be pressured to provide sexual services. In some cases, these people are in trafficking situations. Hosts Seth Daire and JJ Janflone talk a bit about what they've seen and what trafficking looks like for bar women and men. Also, JJ explains why good statistics are hard to find.
