On February 10, the Workers Rights Group interviewed Meredith Dank. She is a Research Professor, and directs the Human Exploitation and Resilience initiative of the NYU Marron Institute of Urban Management. She is a worldwide expert on human trafficking, having conducted research in more than a dozen countries across the globe. Meredith has an extensive understanding of our topic and things related to it.

Our group had learned a lot about her travels, investigations and thoughts over this interview. One thing she talked about specifically was her recognizing human traffickers. As an investigator, she can’t intervene herself, but continues to think about hose those instances. We were able to hear how Meredith got into this line of work, and why she cares about these problems.

She had given our group other organizations to contact at the end of the interview, which was very helpful as well. I found Meredith to be very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful to our moving forward. As a group, we learned a lot from her. Thank you, Meredith, for your time and information.
