Are the new campaigns, funds and stricter laws helping to shrink the scale of global exploitation? And if not, what more needs to be done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of the Impact Room, we explore these questions \u2013 and more \u2013 with three expert guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joelquirk?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">Joel Quirk<\/a>&nbsp;is a professor of political studies at the University of Wits in Johannesburg, South Africa, where his research focuses on slavery, human mobility and human rights.
