Combating Human Trafficking
A growing number of agencies and organizations are addressing the complex issues of human trafficking, sex slavery, and forced labor both in the United States and internationally; however, there is little opportunity for advocates, service providers, and law enforcement personnel to gain knowledge and skills in cultural competence in this area. NMCI is working to fill this void.
NMCI created this groundbreaking Web portal as a source of information for advocates, service providers, law enforcement personnel, and others working to eliminate human trafficking worldwide. Searchable in many languages by keyword, by country, and by theme, www.humantraffickingsearch.net and its “deep search” engine provide information on such topics as human trafficking, child labor, forced labor, and sex slavery. The portal offers a vast amount of information, updated regularly, on more than 120 countries through a broad range of articles, research studies, congressional testimony, case studies, brief videos, a data map on child labor, and a daily news service.
