À propos de cet audio
Tune into this week’s episode of #SpeakingfortheSilenced!
You are listening to Speaking for the Silenced podcast with your host(s) Jacqueline Sun.
In this episode of Speaking for the Silenced, we will begin a two-part segment discussing organ trafficking, perhaps one of the least visible forms of human trafficking.
Segment 1: Background- Involves a lot of stealth and intricacy, many crime groups participate in it
- Organ demand is much higher than supply, what makes the practice so lucrative
- Most traded are kidneys
- Average wait time for a kidney is around 3-4 years
- Time is much too long, people take desperate measures
Segment 2: How does it happen?
- Traffickers target the most vulnerable as in other forms of trafficking
- Offer a lump sum of money
- Engage in insanely upscaled reselling
- Actual removal of organ is done without care for the patient
- Organ buying and selling is illegal in many countries, many engage in something known as “transplant tourism”, which is legal
- Little regulation on transplant tourism
- CoVID-19 has bred the perfect conditions for an influx of organ trafficking
- Influx of debt, traffickers can more easily extort organ removals
- Hospitals are backed up with COVID-19
- Waiting lists for organs increases, demand increases
Segment 3: What Has Been Done
- Tracking through the monetary transactions
- Raising initiative: Project Protect initiative
- Legislation targeting transplant tourism and organ trafficking
- Involving the private sector
- Working through social media platforms, where many ads are posted for organ buying and selling
