Transcript
Dave Stachowiak [00:00:00] You're listening to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. This is episode lucky number 13, recorded in October 2011.

Dave Stachowiak [00:00:25] Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. My name is Dave Stachowiak.

Sandra Morgan [00:00:29] And my name is Sandie Morgan.

Dave Stachowiak [00:00:31] And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. And Sandie, this is indeed lucky number 13 for our show numbers. And it's lucky because we promised the audience first a month ago that we were going to make this an all-request show. So you were responsible for calling in and writing in with questions for us and really for Sandie, that she could respond to and begin to answer the questions you've had as the show has gone on over the last 12 episodes. And Sandie, it's exciting because we have a number of questions in front of us today.

Sandra Morgan [00:01:14] Great. So let's just jump right in and see how many we can answer.

Dave Stachowiak [00:01:18] Okay, great. So I'm in a jump right in. And our first question here today. Oh, by the way, as we start going through our questions here, if our questions today and Sandie's answers to these questions generate more questions for you, you'll want to e-mail those to us as well because we want to keep the dialogue going and keep learning how we can educate and really raise your awareness around the issues and human trafficking. And so you can get a question to us one of two ways. The first way is to email that question and that email address to send questions to is GCWJ@vanguard.edu. And that's for the Global Center for Women and Justice, housed here at Vanguard University. And the other way, Sandie, is folks can reach us by phone as well.

Sandra Morgan [00:02:06] You can call 714-556-3610, extension 2242, and leave us a voicemail if no one answers and we'll get back to you.

Dave Stachowiak [00:02:18] And we'll have a few voicemails to share here in just a few minutes. But our first question actually came in through e-mail. Kathy emailed us at the GCWJ@vanguard.edu e-mail address. And she says, "Dear Mr. Stachowiak and Ms. Morgan. First, I'd like to thank you for providing the podcast Ending Human Trafficking. I've listened to the first three and so far they've been very informative. There are very little resources that I found on the subject in the media and it's been difficult to convey the message to others. I plan to share these podcasts with others and hope of creating ...
