Stop The Traffik
How can we help communities around the world to combat human trafficking?
Stop The Traffik (STT) are a young international charity combatting human trafficking. Their mission is to develop a global grass roots movement that unites and mobilises communities to stop human trafficking, the world's second largest crime.
Trafficking starts and finishes in communities so it is here that STT focus their efforts to protect the vulnerable and enable successful prosecutions. To deliver these ambitions Active Communities Against Trafficking (ACT Groups) are being established across the world.
Groups of volunteers (who are equipped with knowledge, resources and the ability to fundraise to support their own activities) are working to make it harder for traffickers and their victims to remain hidden in our communities.
Harnessing the power of people and data
Using crowdsourcing technology and proprietary mapping software, we are helping STT to make collaboration on local, national and international scales as simple and effective as possible. This will be a unique platform where activists can report incidents of human trafficking from anywhere in the world.
We've also developed and continue to develop map based data displays to make sense of reported incidents and activist activities, from which other secure geo-located conversations can begin.
The maps display local and global events, themed campaigning activity, locations of regional coordinators and other organisations working in anti-trafficking.
A library catalogues all the created and translated resources in use by activists around the world, ACT Groups create their own space where they can document their activity, focus on their particular interests and mobilise their own local network.
A vision for mapping place-based open data.
This website will facilitate the growth of a global movement where activists can see how their efforts are having an impact over time. It will also enable STT to pick up on trafficking hotspots, propagate, and emerge as a leading global charity.
Sea are committed to combatting human trafficking through digital technology, and our vision is to revolutionise the way in which maps are displayed, downloaded and interacted with.
This website is scheduled to go live in April 2012.
