n this episode of Paper Chains, we unpack the 2025 U.S. Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, one of the world’s most influential assessments of how governments respond to human trafficking. Covering more than 180 countries, the report ranks nations based on their efforts to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute traffickers. We break down how the ranking system works, what the report reveals about global trafficking trends, and where progress is still falling short. From government accountability to survivor protection, the TIP Report offers a global snapshot of the fight against exploitation—and the work still left to do. 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.
