Traffickers exploit people through work often for financial gain. Businesses and financial institutions often have complex supply chains, procedures and operations that don’t always prevent human trafficking from happening and protect basic human rights.

Currently, STOP THE TRAFFIK is working with several financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, NGOs and University College London to deliver a platform, known as TA Hub 2018, for managed sharing of anti-human trafficking intelligence. This platform has been built pro-bono by IBM Labs and is now in its prototype test form. The aim of this venture is to both improve the capacity of financial institutions to identify trafficking-related money-laundering, but also to further the understanding of trafficking typologies, hotspots, and routes.
