About this listen

This podcast by JoyCorps Studio focuses on how design thinking and systems practice can be used to help tackle wicked problems.

In this first series we will be looking at the problem of human trafficking - specifically, the challenge of reintegration for survivors and the role that freedom business and entrepreneurship plays in facilitating successful reintegration in the South Asian context. Over the last three years Studio has completed research in both India and Nepal, interviewing and facilitating workshops with a broad spectrum of NGOs, freedom businesses, survivors and community development organisations who are working on the ground. The research has shown that there exists a challenge of running successful freedom businesses in the region, and through this podcast, we would like to bring our design thinking and systems practice lens to conversations with experts in this field.

  • The Challenges to Reintegration in South Asia (Part 1)

    The Challenges to Reintegration in South Asia (Part 1)
    Apr 9 2026

    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.
