    319 – The Intersection of Children’s Rights and Combating Human Trafficking
    Apr 29 2024
    Dr. Sandie Morgan looks back on episode #208: The Intersection of Children's Rights and Combating Human Trafficking, with Rabbi Diana Gerson. Rabbi Diana Gerson Rabbi Diana Gerson is the associate executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis. She has been a leading advocate with the New York Board of Rabbis role in confronting family violence, sexual abuse, and the exploitation of children by reaching across faith communities. Rabbi Gerson has developed programs for the New York City’s mayor’s office to combat domestic violence and has provided prevention education to thousands of community leaders and clergy, whose roles she considers critical to ending sexual exploitation and all forms of violence against children. In addition, she also serves on the international steering committee for the interfaith forum on child dignity in the digital world. She received her master’s degree and rabbinic ordination in 2001 from the Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of Religion in New York City. Diana, we’re so glad to welcome you to the show. Key Points One of the largest initiatives globally is the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was written and ratified by the United Nations in 1989. This is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the history of our global society, yet the only country who has not ratified this document to date is the United States. We need to be mindful of the images we share of our children, because they are susceptible to becoming child abuse material. The whole community, not just parents, has to be aware of the risks and the behaviors of people that might take advantage of their position. For every one adult that has training, at least ten children are safer in their communities.

My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan. This is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. This year's Ensure Justice Conference focused on keeping our children safe online. What an important topic. We continued the theme right after the conference when we aired episode #315, with Susan Kennedy, also focused on cyber safety. All this really got me thinking about an older episode we aired, #208: The Intersection of Children's Rights and Combating Human Trafficking, with Rabbi Diana Garrison. I thought this would be a good opportunity to reshare that episode since I think it ties in with what I've been thinking, and I hope you find it as thought provoking as I did. Here's Dave introducing our guest. Dave [00:01:34] Rabbi Diana Gerson is the associate executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis.

    318 – 2024 Orange County Inspirational Women: Forum and Leadership Awards
    Apr 15 2024
    Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast intern, Nadia Sosa, as the two discuss Dr. Sandie Morgan's new award. Dr. Sandie Morgan Dr. Sandie Morgan is recognized globally for her expertise on combating human trafficking and working to end violence against women. She is the director of the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University in Southern California. She is passionate about the role of education in fighting human trafficking. She launched a 12-unit Anti-Human Trafficking Certificate that is totally online. She believes everyone can do something. But first, they need to study the issue. Then they can be a voice and make a difference. Key Points As an educator, it's important to ask questions and incorporate student voices in important conversation to better equip them to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference. A global context, the intersection of different dimensions across society, is essential when addressing issues in education. When a community is safer for women and girls, the rest of that community is safer and bettered. It is Dr. Morgan's goal as an educator, that students learn principles of human dignity, to grow communities where exploitation and human trafficking cannot exist. The theme of women supporting women is important for the next generation of girls, as the nominees, finalists, and awardees of this year's Orange County Inspirational Women awards aim to build a future that will support and inspire the next generation of women.

This is Episode #318. I'm Nadia Sosa. I'm the podcast intern and I major in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing, and a minor in Journalism. Sandra Morgan 0:28 My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan and I'm the director of Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice. And it's so exciting to have my intern being the interviewer today so thank you, Nadia. Nadia Sosa 0:46 Thank you, Dr. Morgan. Today, we're going to be talking about Dr. Morgan's new award, the 2024 Orange County Inspirational Women Forum and Leadership Awards for Education and Government. So to start off, Dr. Morgan, I just wanted to ask you, what has been your reaction to winning this award and how do you think that it's recently affected the way that you interact in the sphere of education? Sandra Morgan 1:12 First of all, I was delighted that there was a category for Women of Inspiration in Education and Government. I sometimes feel like I'm so behind the scenes and my job, my passion, I feel compelled, is to equip the next generation in combating human trafficking and reducing violence against women. So I was delighted to hear that this was a focus. The day of the lunch I showed up, because I always show up to be a voice and to represent what we do at the Global Center, and to represent the issues that women and girls face. So when they actually called my name, I was stunned. I stopped and then I went into, "Oh, I need to go up there and say something to represent the women and the girls that I work on behalf of." Nadia Sosa 2:25 That's wonderful to hear that they're always on the forefront of your mind and that's who you're always keeping in mind and taking into consideration even when you've won such a big award. That's wonderful to hear, especially as a student knowing that someone who has educated me really cares about what you're doing. And then just piggybacking off of that, how do you think that being an educator helped you with your work in other spheres, like your work in the anti-human trafficking movement and in faith based organizations? Sandra Morgan 2:54 I believe that being an educator gives me two advantages. First of all,

    317 – Just Choices: Is it Too Complicated?
    Apr 1 2024
    Dr. Sandie Morgan looks back at episode #110, with founding co-host Dave Stachowiak, as the two discuss the importance of making just choices with our purchasing power. Key Points It's important to understand that as consumers, we all have a purchasing power that we can use, and it all begins with awareness and consideration of what's good for those who were behind the production of a product. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs provides a list of goods produced by child labor or forced labor and can be found below. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs takes a research based approach to creating this list, using information that is available to the public and can be replicated. Being aware of the good that are produced by child labor or forced labor is a start to individual and collective action. It is an opportunity to become educated in order to change the quality of life for a child, an adult, a human being.

This is episode number 317. We're here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today, we are bringing back my founding co-host, Dave Stachowiak as we revisit a previous episode. You're going to be listening to Episode #110: "Just Choices: Is it Too Complicated?". I was reminded of this episode as I saw all of the chocolate in the stores as we celebrated Easter. This episode opens the door for more reflection on our personal ethics in our fight to make a difference in ending human trafficking. With the passage of time, I've come to value a personal ethic that builds empathy and bleeds into other spheres in our lives where we have influence: your business, your office, your place of worship. Take a listen to this conversation between Dave and me. Dave 1:50 Sandie today, we are looking at a topic that is one that actually pretty much all of us are dealing with, whether we understand that or not, are aware of that or not. That is some of the choices we make in sourcing supplies and working with forming partnerships with organizations that supply things to our organization, and to businesses, and to nonprofits and thinking through that, or not, as the case may be. We've got a lot of tools and resources to look at today, in order to help us all to be more effective. Sandra Morgan 2:28 I tell you, Dave, I've had so many conversations of late, where it's part of who I am. We're having a conversation and I hear people say, "Well, that's too complicated." Because I explained, during Ensure Justice preparation, the idea was to order a little cotton tote bag, and someone had found a really good deal, and I said, "Well did you check the supply chain? Because here in California, we have the Supply Chain Transparency Act." The person looked at me and said, "That's kind of complicated, I don't have time to do that." I said, "Well, it's out of my department, I'm going to do it." This is something I really want listeners to pay attention to. If the people in your company, in your organization, in your church, if you're a pastor, you're the CEO, and the buck stops here. If decisions are made, to not follow through on something that looks a little complicated, ultimately, that's going to be my responsibility. So I stayed a little later, I went online, I checked out the website, and according to the law,
