The Invisible Hands: Volunteering at a Trafficking Shelter | The Difference We Make
Description
In this episode of The Difference We Make, host Ashling Scallon explores the profound reality of volunteering at a shelter for survivors of human trafficking. This is not a story about dramatic rescues or heroic interventions; it is an intimate look at the quiet, often unglamorous work of bearing witness to trauma and restoring agency. If you are interested in social impact, ethical philanthropy, or understanding how to support survivors without centering yourself, this episode offers essential guidance on moving from a mindset of 'fixing' to one of humble presence.
