In this episode of Paper Chains, we step back and compare the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Reports to understand what’s really changing in the global fight against human trafficking. Are countries improving—or just shifting positions? Are policies becoming more effective, or are the same challenges repeating year after year? We break down key trends across three years of reporting, including changes in country rankings, policy focus, and global trafficking patterns. This episode offers a bigger-picture look at progress, stagnation, and what these reports reveal about the future of anti-trafficking efforts. 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.
