Reintegration is often the most overlooked and complex part of the anti trafficking journey.

In this episode, with our guests Hannah Badi and Kristen Willard, we explore the challenges survivors of human trafficking face as they rebuild their lives beyond rescue and rehabilitation. Through real stories and insights, we unpack what makes reintegration work, where efforts fall short, and why creating the conditions to dream again is just as critical as creating livelihoods.

In the second part of the episode, we also reflect on the role of community, systems, and research, asking what needs to shift to make reintegration more sustainable and why voices from South Asia remain less visible in global discourse.

Fellow colleague and friend, Shweta Kakkar, interviews the JoyCorps Studio to understand the genesis of the work we do and how we got to this point of starting a podcast.
