Carolina Catholic observes Human Trafficking Awareness Month (January 2025) by learning about labor trafficking, a crime which impacts us all

For our second show in January, we observe Human Trafficking Awareness Month with guest, Christine Commerce, Program Director for the Alliance to End Human Trafficking (AEHT). AEHT is a collaborative, faith-based national network that offers education, supports access to survivor services, and engages in advocacy to eradicate this crime. Christine will speak about one of the most often ignored aspects of human trafficking that impacts us all directly: labor trafficking. As per the Department of State, it is estimated that child slave labor is used to produce 204 goods that Americans consume including coffee and chocolate, and children are also used to harvest critical minerals like cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, tantalum, tin, tungsten, and zinc, the majority of which are used to run our cell phones, tablets, and computers.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the third and fourth weekends of January.
