Welcome back to Paper Chains. In this episode, we dive into the 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report—the U.S. State Department’s flagship assessment of how countries around the world are fighting (or failing to fight) human trafficking. This is the report that sets the global benchmark, but it’s also one that’s dense, overwhelming, and often overlooked by the public. Our goal today is to break it down in plain language—highlighting the most disturbing trends, the countries moving forward, and the systems still letting people fall through the cracks. Last episode, we looked at the 2023 report. This time, we’re going deep on 2024—and next time, we’ll be comparing the two. So buckle up—because what’s in this report should shock you.

Thank you for listening.
