In this powerful and emotionally charged episode, we continue our conversation with Joan Ndagire, an extraordinary Ugandan activist and survivor of human trafficking. As an artist, award-winning filmmaker, and writer, Joan has found her voice in the fight against the heinous crime of human trafficking.
**"Unveiling Shadows: Surviving Human Trafficking in East Africa"** takes listeners on a journey through Joan's personal experiences as a victim and survivor of trafficking. She bravely shares her harrowing tale of returning from Oman, shedding light on the disturbing reality of how many East African girls are being trafficked to the Middle East under the deceptive guise of labor export.
The stories in this episode are unapologetically raw and deeply touching, exposing the dark underbelly of human trafficking while showcasing the strength and resilience of survivors. We must caution our audience that the content is sensitive and may be distressing, and we advise listening with someone for emotional support if needed.
Joan's determination to make a difference through her art and writing is inspiring. Her documentary, "HELP FIND ME," reveals the untold reasons behind survivors fleeing their countries and their unimaginable experiences. She firmly believes that education, especially in creative fields like filmmaking, can be a powerful tool in preventing human trafficking from claiming more innocent lives.
Throughout her journey, Joan has collaborated with various organizations dedicated to combating human trafficking, including Omuti Kreativ, Papa Odet Foundation, UCATIP (Uganda Coalition Against Trafficking in Persons), John Paul II Justice and Peace Centre, and more. Additionally, she envisions empowering other trafficking survivors by imparting practical skills to help them secure their livelihoods, thereby breaking the vicious cycle.
"Unveiling Shadows" is a testament to the courage of those who have survived the unimaginable and a call to action for listeners to join the fight against human trafficking.
