Unlike other podcasts that explore the crime of exploitation and human trafficking, the VanderPointe podcast will focus on the why. Exposing how protective systems mirror tactics of traffickers and are responsible for strengthening the supply chain and perpetuating the crime. This podcast challenges listeners to understand how social, economic, and political systems nurture human trafficking in our communities. The podcast will engage in critical conversations about how systemic racism, oppression, and white supremacist structures serve as fuel for human trafficking and gender-based violence. Dismantling “the way we do things” holds the solutions to ending this crime, and the VanderPointe podcast will use your discomfort to energize your motivation to make changes in your community.
