  • Love and Justice Can Prevent Human Trafficking Globally!
    Nov 3 2025

    What if preventing human trafficking could be as tangible as standing watch at a bus station, asking the right questions—and changing a life for $112? In this powerful conversation, host Dr. Leigh Byers sits down with Hannah Munn, Senior Director of International Installation & Compliance at Love Justice International, to explore how their faith-driven transit monitoring model intercepts potential victims before exploitation occurs.

    Hannah shares the mission and mechanics behind Love Justice’s frontline work—how trained monitors partner with local leaders, data systems, and prayer to spot red flags in real time and intervene with courage and compassion. From early intercepts that reunite minors with family, to a “fail fast, steward well” expansion strategy across 18 countries around the world, the outcomes are both measurable and deeply hopeful. With intercepts happening about every 20 minutes and an average cost of ~$112 per intercept, prevention isn’t just possible—it’s powerful.

    Whether you’re in Florida, across the U.S., or abroad, this episode offers clear ways to pray, give, advocate, learn, and serve—reminding us that love is not idle in the face of suffering.
