Inside Child Trafficking: How It Works, Who Profits, and How to Protect Your Kids | Liney Chacko

In the latest episode of The ANA CRUZ Show, Liney Chacko, Director and Co‑Founder of Global Renewal, sits down to discuss the hidden networks of child trafficking — unpacking how money, power, culture, and ignorance help sustain one of the world’s most profitable and destructive criminal enterprises.

Human trafficking remains a global crisis: recent estimates show tens of millions of people are trapped in modern slavery, with a significant portion being minors exploited for forced labor and sexual exploitation. Studies suggest that children make up nearly a third of all detected trafficking victims worldwide, often recruited or controlled through digital platforms and social media environments that outpace protections. 

Global Renewal is on the frontlines of this fight, working to educate community leaders, transform vulnerable societies, establish safe homes, and rescue child victims from exploitation across Southeast Asia and beyond. Their programs include leadership training, community development, and Selah Safe Houses that provide care, rehabilitation, and hope for survivors.  We thank Liney Chacko for sharing her insights and frontline experiences.
