Siddharth Kara on sex trafficking and the horrors of modern slavery in cobalt mines
In this episode, I speak with Siddharth Kara, author of "Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives"
Meghan Murphy and guests embrace authenticity, and have real, honest discussions about culture, politics, relationships, internet wars, the media social justice, cancel culture, and more. Conversations outside the algorithm.
Siddharth Kara is an author, researcher, and activist. He has been documenting the realities of modern slavery around the world, and pushing for accountability. Siddharth is the author of a number of books, including "Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives," and "Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery.”
I spoke with him about the realities of sex trafficking around the world and the horrors of the cobalt mines, which feed the West's endless hunger for new technologies, particularly in the form of "green" electric vehicles mandated by progressive politicians like Justin Trudeau.
