Catalyzing a professional, evidence-based response to human trafficking
We envision a world free from exploitation where every person has equal opportunity to meet their physical needs, be mentally and socially healthy, and access to effective social support systems that prepare them to be resilient in the face of crisis.
However, significant work is needed to identify knowledge and service gaps, develop effective solutions and deliver them to the sectors that need to apply them.
To inform, innovate, and impact practice and policy in the anti-trafficking industry we:
Learn
Evidenced based solutions are paramount. Starting with cataloguing research that has already been done, we assess applicability, identify gaps, and conduct further research where necessary.
Apply
With this research we develop innovative evidence-based solutions in the form of educational material and training programs that are relevant to the problem, actionable, and deliver measurable results.Â
Share
Insuring all sectors of the anti-trafficking movement including NGO’s, advocates and donors, government and grantors, and policymakers, have access to this research and training in a variety of formats and languages.
Signature Projects
We are strategic-minded visionaries intent on re-imagining the humanitarian response to human trafficking.
We catalyze the essential, difficult conversations that are needed for the movement to mature and grow. We facilitate deep thinking, innovation, and accountability in the anti-trafficking movement to professionalize and increase the effectiveness of the industry.
We endeavor to help the industry increase its capacity for self-assessment, innovation, and the iterative refining and development of programs and interventions.
Human trafficking is one of the most complex humanitarian issues facing society today. However, oversimplifying it merely to kidnapping and sexual exploitation leaves many victims unable to escape the systems that entrap or enslave them.
We exist to catalyze a fundamental shift in the anti-trafficking movement, from a reactionary criminal justice model to an evidence-based solution model that addresses the root causes of human trafficking.
We believe that exploitation, human trafficking, and modern slavery cannot be eradicated until the anti-trafficking movement prioritizes addressing the factors that increase individual, family, and community vulnerability.
