Ending Child Exploitation and Trafficking in Australia
Episode 13
Monday, 3 November, 2025
In this inspiring episode, David Cross, CEO of ZOE Australia, shares his powerful journey from a successful business career to the frontline of fighting child trafficking and exploitation.What started as disbelief after a church sermon led David and his wife, Andrea, to leave everything behind and move to Thailand — dedicating over a decade to caring for rescued children and training local leaders through ZOE International. Their experience in restorative care revealed the deep healing possible when love, safety, and faith come together.Now back in Australia, David and his team at ZOE are addressing the hidden reality of child exploitation in one of the world’s most developed nations. He exposes how trafficking often operates through psychological manipulation, not visible chains — and why education, prevention, and community awareness are key to protecting children.Key Takeaways:- Child trafficking exists everywhere — even in wealthy nations like Australia.- Awareness, education, and early prevention save lives.- Restorative care and trauma-informed support are essential for survivors.- Every person can play a role: trust your instincts, report concerns, and be a safe, caring adult for the children around you.David also highlights ZOE Australia’s initiatives — including free school curricula for teens and a child safety board game called Treehouse — designed to equip communities to recognize and prevent exploitation.Though the fight is challenging, stories of transformation show that healing and restoration are possible. “ZOE means life,” David reminds us — and every rescued child deserves the chance to live it abundantly.Get Involved:Pray, learn, and take action to protect children in your community.Learn more at goZOE.jp | goZOE.org.auOther resources from ZOE Australia: Treehouse game: https://www.gozoe.org.au/treehouse-game/Curriculum Year 9 & 10: https://www.gozoe.org.au/curriculum-download/#ChildTrafficking #ZOEJapanPodcast #ZOEAustralia #EndChildExploitation #HumanTraffickingAwareness #FaithInAction #RestorativeCare #ChildProtection
