Fighting trafficking
Print Edition
AN Indian charity is using big data to pinpoint human trafficking hot spots in a bid to prevent vulnerable women and girls vanishing from high-risk villages into the sex trade.
My Choices Foundation uses specially designed technology to identify those villages that are most at risk of modern slavery, then launches local campaigns to sound the alarm.
“The general Indian public is still largely unaware that trafficking exists, and most parents have no idea that their children are actually being sold into slavery,” said Elca Grobler, the founder of My Choices Foundation.
“That’s why grassroots awareness and education is so important to ending the human traffic trade.”
The analytics tool — developed by Australian firm Quantium — uses a range of factors to identify the most dangerous villages.
