OUR APPROACH
Research

Our research is the foundation of everything we do. We conduct firsthand, on-the-ground investigations to gain real-world insights into trafficking operations, recruitment tactics, and survivor experiences. By working directly in affected communities, interviewing incarcerated traffickers, working with survivors, and collaborating with law enforcement and anti-trafficking organizations, we identify emerging trends and vulnerabilities. This field-based approach ensures that our educational materials and solutions are informed by the latest and most accurate intelligence, making them more effective in combating human trafficking.
