How can we use technology to create a global movement against human trafficking?

Human Trafficking is a growing problem and between two to four million men, women and children are trafficked across borders and within their own country every year. It happens all around the UK, but it's very hidden.

 

We are delighted to be working with international charity Stop The Traffik in the development of a unique global crowdsourcing website to encourage activism against human trafficking and help them create a global movement.

Our online mapping tools will enable individuals and community groups to learn about the problem, collaborate and share information.

 

The charity, which has more than 1000 member organisations in 50 countries and tens of thousands of activists all over the world, hope the website will help in spreading the message.

 

Bex Keer, Stop The Traffik's UK Manager, said: "We're really excited to be working with Sea Communications."Their technology is all about empowering, connecting and networking communities with their own ideas and solutions. This really matches our ethos in equipping and enabling communities."

 

"We knew we wanted to do this, but we didn't know how to achieve this online and having found Sea Communications just really delighted and excited us. I think we're going to pioneer something quite new in our combat to conquer trafficking."
