In this episode of Paper Chains, we compare the 2023 and 2024 U.S. Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Reports to uncover what’s really changed in the global fight against human trafficking. From shifting country rankings to policy reversals and eerily familiar patterns, we break down the most critical updates and explore what they reveal about international accountability—or the lack of it. This conversation isn’t just about documents—it’s about the people behind the data and what the numbers say about progress, failure, and the road ahead.
