Rev. Susan Omanson has been called to a ministry of advocacy and victim care around the issue of human trafficking. Her global travels and engagement in the issue brought her right back home to working at the problem on her doorstep in South Dakota. In this conversation, we talk about sex trafficking and labor trafficking, share some surprising stories, and hear about the work of BeFree Ministries in the issue.

In this episode of "In Their Shoes," four of us who attended the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women share our experiences with you. UNCSW was the last week of February and the first week of March this year (2011). Four of us from American Baptist Women's Ministries, including one senior in high school, participated in several days of workshops in the "parallel events" hosted by a variety of NGOs from all over the world.
