Key Points Many refugees were working professionals in their home countries Refugees desperate for work become highly vulnerable to trafficking. When people get really desperate, standard prevention strategies often don’t work. No one NGO can solve the problem, but each NGO has expertise that can help when working together. Collaborating can be a messy process, but it’s worth it. Collaboration is often complicated because we haven’t learned each other’s terminology. It’s going to take an army to end the trafficking crisis, and we need to build that army by partnering with others. Resources Bridges UN Terminology Glossary Are you enjoying the show?
