In this case study, you will explore the role of technology in combating human trafficking and examine the responsibilities and potential of different sectors to contribute to this global effort. Use the following prompts to guide your analysis:
- Links Between Technology and Human Trafficking:
- What are the connections between advancements in technology and the practice of human trafficking? Explore both how technology facilitates trafficking and how it can be harnessed to combat it.
- Cross-Sector Collaboration:
- How can public and private sector actors use technology to combat human trafficking effectively? Identify ways in which cooperation across government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and private companies can contribute to the development of anti-trafficking technologies.
- Implementing Anti-Trafficking Technologies:
- What strategies can society employ to successfully implement technological solutions aimed at preventing and addressing human trafficking? Discuss societal roles in promoting cooperation among different actors to foster the creation of these technologies.
- Private-Sector Accountability and Innovation:
- How can private-sector technology firms recognize when traffickers are exploiting their services and networks? Suggest steps they can take to innovate, develop, and implement anti-trafficking initiatives in their business models.
- Human Rights Considerations in Technological Interventions:
- How can technological interventions account for the range of human rights that may be impacted by the use of advanced technologies? Discuss how firms and organizations can ensure that the primary beneficiaries of these interventions are the victims and survivors of human trafficking.
