Angus Thomas

In this episode, we talk with Angus Thomas, founder of Hope Education Project, about how prevention education can help protect children and communities from human trafficking. Angus shares how an encounter with a trafficking victim in Dubai inspired his work and how his organization helps children in northern Ghana recognize and respond to the risks of exploitation. We explore:

• How prevention education helps children recognize the warning signs of human trafficking
• Why prevention can reach more people than rescue for the same cost
• The role of poverty, child labor, gender inequality, and digital grooming in increasing vulnerability to exploitation
• How trafficking thrives in secrecy and why community conversations matter
• The role of men and boys in reducing exploitation
• How community awareness, curiosity, and taking action can help prevent exploitation before it happens
