Fighting Human Trafficking with Rasha Hammad from Youth Underground

Youth Underground [https://youth-underground.com/] is an organisation that prevents human trafficking through youth education. Young people are the ones who are the most at risk of human trafficking. This is why Rasha Hammad, the founder of Youth Underground, chose to put youth and their voices at the center of Youth Underground. The young people that she works with are the ones who have made the organisation what it is today. It is through the hard conversations, the education and the awareness building that no voice is left unheard and no one is left behind. Speaking with Rasha in this episode we discuss many subjects that are seen and considered as taboo. She debunks the subject of human trafficking, breaks the stigma and opens the doors for the truth. She is a brave advocate and compassionate educator. Want to learn more about Youth Underground?
