To visualise real-time nefarious activity commonly leading up to or in relation to human trafficking (child exploitation in this instance), including in high conflict environments - HEAT MAP Present findings with actionable context in relation to: Fake Document Sales - Children are at a high risk of being trafficked and moved across state and country lines by using counterfeit travel documents. Rise in illicit ads (provide phone numbers for blocking or detecting bad actors in these rings) - Indications of illicit services in operation signifiy a potential sex and labour trafficking of women and children. It may be linked to a larger network of illicit businesses. Exploitation Language (provide extracts of new and commonly used # and term data, their source and the content) - Children are at risk of being exploited online.Traffickers identify vulnerable young people through their social media presence, and once identified, traffickers often groom and control their victims through online platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Craigslist, online dating sites, and chatrooms. Traffickers also use social media to recruit victims through illegitimate job offers, and/or fraudulent or deceptive job advertisements through fake events on Facebook, posts on job recruitment sites like Craigslist, and fake business profiles. Traffickers may also contact potential victims directly, claiming to be a recruiter for a modeling agency or the owner of another kind of legitimate business. To allow researchers, NGO’s and law enforcement to add other sources, to identify problematic areas current .vs previous data from example data: DOL Child Labour - Child and Forced Labour Stats Globally ACLED Data - Real time data on locations and type of global conflict/protests As an output of the above - provide a feed for social media apps, web browsers and other applications to present banners of high risk in your area (based on browser/app geolocation) - PRESENTED AS CHROME BROWSER EXTENSION
