“It ought to concern every person because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name: modern slavery.”

President Barack Obama, September 25, 2012

[What Is Child Trafficking] | [By The Numbers] | [One Problem]

“Child Trafficking can only be broken when we disrupt the cycle by global businesses and agencies working together and using technology to create one global standard, to educate, certify, promote awareness, prevent and prosecute.”

Creating a Different Pathway

Global Standards

We are working with businesses and agencies to create globally accepted standards of education, training, certification and communications on one secure technology platform.

We believe the international adoption of standards will lead to increased identification and protection of victims, awareness and prevention of child trafficking, and—most importantly—criminal prosecutions.

Human Trafficking is $150 billion global business – we can use collaboration between businesses and agencies to disrupt this market.

Child victims of trafficking are often arrested to get them off the streets and processed as criminals. We need a new process so that the prosecutions and arrests are moved from the abused to the abuser. Investing in global standards, and training, education, and certification of all members of the related systems will help to identify victims and prosecute abusers.

Our Goals:

 

To prevent the global Human Trafficking of Children and increase prosecutions of Human Traffickers.

 

•  To prevent the global Human Trafficking of children and increase prosecutions of Human Traffickers.
• To provide internationally recognized education and certification on the prevention of child and human trafficking.To collaborate with global businesses and agencies to raise awareness and increase education of the public to prevent child and human trafficking.
• To provide one place for resources and education to all involved in the prevention of child and human trafficking.

Human Trafficking is $150 billion global business, of which estimated $99 billion comes from the sex trade alone, primarily exploiting women and children under the age of 18.

The only way to fight this is to take away the market.

The Business and Agency Coalition – Fighting business with good business

 

• Create a global coalition of businesses and agencies involved in the fight against child trafficking.
• Use technology to promote awareness and prevention through globally accepted standards, education, and certification to increase prosecutions.
• Use the coalition to actively promote development and adoption of those global standards.
• Invest in a global standard for training, education, certification, awareness, and communication for those involved in the fight against child trafficking.
• Increase awareness, prevention, and prosecutions of abusers internationally.

One Global Standard

While the Palermo Protocols are globally-accepted guidelines about Human Trafficking, they do not address the education, training and certification to prevent Human Trafficking.

There are also no international standards set for the operation of businesses creating transparency and certified education of its members in anti-human trafficking. [Source] (1).

We believe in international standards and best practices for the education, training or certification of agencies, law enforcement and businesses to prevent Human Trafficking.

Our Initiatives

International standards and education of law enforcement, government agencies, and global businesses to aid in the prevention of human trafficking would increase the prosecutions and convictions of human trafficking perpetrators around the globe.

Good secure digital identity solutions would aid in the prevention of human trafficking, preventing traffickers from holding documentation and enabling the illegal passage of minors.

One secure digital platform could provide education, certification, reporting, mapping, data collection, and resources to better enable prevention, successful prosecutions, convictions, and recovery of trafficked humans.

Raising global public awareness by standards and education of what to look for in both the private sector and enforcement will result in a trust economy with private citizens who will seek out those commercial entities that are transparent and certified in anti-human trafficking.

• Standard training and certification could be done online in secure platforms, tailored to each type of law enforcement, government agencies, and global businesses.
• The resulting levels of certification could become a global standard that ALL agencies involved in the fight against human trafficking would recognize and participate with.

Any global business that receives the certification would be transparently saying to its customers that it does not partake in Human Trafficking and that it has trained its key employees to recognize and report on child and human trafficking. It would include the supply chain and the customer service protocols. This would create value and advantage for that business with its customers in today’s trust economy.

Creating Change through Collaboration

We are a unique group of individuals, businesses and agencies collaborating together to prevent the abuse of children through child trafficking.

We believe by using technology to create one global standard for education, certification, awareness and communication will increase the protection, prevention and prosecution in anti-child trafficking.

Everyone can do something, no-one should do nothing.
