Hunting Child Sex Traffickers
Leigh Dundas is a human rights attorney and abolitionist. A decade ago she joined an anti-slavery NGO as their General Counsel. While there, Leigh liaised with foreign governments to allow undercover surveillance of child brothels by former US law enforcement assets, and also worked closely with NGOs on a plan to have on-ground investigators amass evidence of money laundering by human traffickers – and then securely relay that data to world banks so they could flag accounts suspected of criminal activity.
In recognition of her extensive knowledge on slavery matters, Leigh was appointed ten years ago to the Congressional Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking, where she further assisted in identification of these problems, and helped formulate US response to same. Leigh has also devoted significant time to a modern-day “Sodom & Gomorrah” region comprised of 140 child brothels along the Thai-Malay border – traveling in excess of 100 mph to avoid roadside bombers, in order to provide assistance to the children trapped there and embed a film crew to document the horrors of the child-sex trade. Here, she appears on The Kim Iversen Show.
