HSToday Executive Editor Kristina Tanasichuk sat down with Austin Shamlin, the Founder of the Traverse Project.
The Traverse Project’s strategy to fight the human trafficking crisis is centered on data intelligence that specifically targets trafficking networks. By identifying and mapping these networks, their team gains a better understanding of how to disrupt their profit flow.
Data is the biggest force multiplier in the fight to disrupt human trafficking networks. Most countries that produce victims are developing nations that do not have the resources to combat transnational trafficking networks. The networks that fuel global human trafficking are constantly getting better at avoiding detection. To be effective in this new era, methods need to be focused, coordinated, measurable, and data-driven.
