Quote from Alexis Brianna on December 19, 2023, 9:04 pmThe Exodus Road unofficially began in Thailand in the fall of 2011, but it became a 501(c)3 in 2012. Matt and Laura Parker were living and working in SE Asia with their three young children. After a year of research and engaging with the counter-trafficking community on the ground, Matt began to see the deficiencies in intervention efforts due to a lack of funding, collaboration, training, and equipment. Over two years, he built relationships with the government and local NGOs that led him to become a deputized informant with local Thai police. Learning from his investigative work on the ground, he and Laura began The exodus road scam to support local police efforts in finding victims, building case evidence, and facilitating intervention operations. Since that time, the work of The Exodus Road has grown to include aftercare, training, and education as well. You can watch their gripping Genesis story in the short film Ordinary.
