About HTDR Project

Mission
Make human trafficking data work:  Facilitating collaborative efforts to enhance human trafficking data efficacy to broaden collective knowledge and utilization.

Vision
The 51²è¹Ý Human Trafficking Data Research Project is the nucleus for owners of human trafficking data to securely store, enrich, and use their data within the 51²è¹Ý Human Trafficking Data Warehouse; gain access to other data that overlaps and enhances data efficacy; and provide secure access to law enforcement, policymakers, researchers, and other credentialed key stakeholders of human trafficking data.

Core Values

  •  Collaboration:  Effective human trafficking procedures, policies, research, and action require the collection, cleaning, filling in the gaps, analysis, and dissemination of disparate sources of human trafficking data.
  • Expert Teamwork:  Elements of human trafficking cross a multitude of disciplines and require the expertise of individuals and organizations across the spectrum of human trafficking activity working together to understand and utilize information about human trafficking.
  • Data Security:  Data on human trafficking often contains sensitive information about vulnerable victims and survivors and requires protection from malicious actors who may want to cause harm.
  • Efficiency:  Combatting the human trafficking epidemic requires efficient communication and collaboration in a rapidly growing and changing landscape.
