Episode 9 - Broken Systems: How Climate Infrastructure Failures Create Trafficking Risk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Paper Chains, we examine a report from the International Organization for Migration exploring how failing infrastructure—roads, water systems, housing, and energy networks—can increase vulnerability to human trafficking in communities already facing climate stress. When disasters damage critical systems, livelihoods collapse and migration becomes a survival strategy. But those moments of instability can also create openings for exploitation. We break down how infrastructure breakdowns contribute to trafficking risk and why climate resilience is not just an environmental issue—but a human rights issue. Paper Chains is a project of Five24, a nonprofit committed to justice, education, and ethical consumerism. This episode is sponsored by Ethical Trade Co, supporting ethical supply chains and survivor-centered impact. Learn more at www.ethicaltradeco.com
