Turning A Million Eyes To Save Lives

"Turning A Million Eyes To Save Lives" is a podcast co-production of Innocents at Risk and Studio C.

Since 2005, Innocents at Risk has been working to raise awareness about the horrors of child trafficking in America and around the world. In 2008, Innocents at Risk launched the Flight Attendant Initiative to train flight attendants, who are our first line of defense in spotting and reporting situations of trafficking, and a year later, Innocents at Risk founder Deborah Sigmund took the Flight Attendant Initiative to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). An official protocol was established with DHS after several meetings that included Deborah and senior American Airlines flight attendant Sandra Fiorini. That protocol, called Blue Lightning, is used to this day.

Innocents at Risk conducts educational outreach programs through churches, clubs, organizations, schools, and embassies, and now this podcast.

Andy Miles hosts this monthly series which seeks to educate and motivate listeners through a series of conversations with flight attendants and passengers, hotel employees, transportation officials, government officeholders, and anti-trafficking activists who are making a difference and helping to save the lives of women and children. We'll also hear the real-life stories of survivors of human trafficking and, using the DHS Blue Campaign Training, we'll help everyday citizens be able to identify red-flag situations and how to report them.
