Tech-Facilitated Trafficking

We define tech-facilitated trafficking as the comprehensive use of mobile apps, encrypted messaging, online classifieds, and digital payment systems to coordinate and execute human trafficking operations.

We view this as the dominant model for modern labour trafficking in South Asia.

The entire lifecycle of a scam - from luring a victim through a fake digital recruitment ad, to coordinating their movement via encrypted chat, to extracting illegal fees through mobile banking - is tech-facilitated.

Law enforcement remains severely outmatched by the speed and anonymity of tech-facilitated trafficking networks.

We specialise in researching these digital footprints. We train law enforcement in digital investigation techniques and partner with tech companies to disrupt these networks.

Our solutions focus on infiltrating the digital infrastructure of traffickers, turning their technological tools against them to rescue victims and secure prosecutions.
