Hidden Traffic Podcast host Gwen Hassan reviews the year’s developments in human trafficking prevention and shares what’s next on the podcast.

This year has seen a rise in human trafficking and climate change refugees. The United Nations International Labor Organization (ILO) reported that there are 50 million people across the world who are currently being held in some form of modern slavery. Notable news stories around human trafficking include the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act coming into play and allegations against Tesla for sourcing their cobalt from child labor.

A major issue in the corporate world coined the ‘Green Push,’ is the neglect of the ‘S’ in ESG.  You can’t make the world better environmentally by reducing carbon output and addressing climate change issues while also enslaving children, Gwen remarks.
