Listen now
Description
This episode of Injustices Uncovered explores the environmental and labor rights issues that go unnoticed in the commercial fishing industry. The two hosts, Quinton and Haley, begin by expelling some common perceptions about fishing and then introduce Vannak Anan Prum, a Cambodian man who’s story reveals how modern slavery is possible. The episode concludes by examining the ways in which this injustice is being addressed and how solutions should be improved. Quinton and Haley, with Prum’s help, hope to bring attention to this pressing issue and implore consumers in the West to be more mindful of the seafood they buy.   Sources we referenced: The Freedom Fund (Links to an external site.)
