Freedom for Fisherman USCSAHT was honored to have award winning, AP Journalist, Martha Mendoza present at our webinar in February on the work she did for 'Freedom for Fisherman". Human trafficking is in almost every corner of the world, and more than 2,000 formerly enslaved people are free today because The Associated Press put a spotlight on their misery. These men were captives of Thailand’s seafood industry, in some cases for decades, whipped with stingray tails if they asked for rest, risking murder by captains if they failed to please. AP reporter Martha Mendoza will take you behind the scenes on her team’s reporting process. Hear about an investigation that resulted in a dozen people jailed, new legislation, and consumers worldwide forced to confront the cruelties of slavery in the 21st century. |
