Use of Internet and Social Media to Strengthen Anti Human Trafficking Efforts

Listening to the Google’s initiative about a support to Anti human Trafficking efforts was a real pleasure. As I wrote earlier, that human trafficking is the greatest socioeconomic and a multicultural threat to human race, and there are more than 27 million people still suffering modern day slavery around the world.

After listening to the encouraging news on CNN, my brain consciousness says that it’s the right time to think about a revolutionary idea which can not only be a major step in anti human trafficking efforts going on around the world but it can also bring an end to human trafficking aka modern slavery.

 

My research shows that transnational crimes are increasing in scope and magnitude. One type of transnational crime that is plaguing communities is the complex crime of human trafficking. Every time the world has suffered an economic depression, it is exposed to the human trafficking. As financially deprived people from under-developed poor countries try to reach wealthier countries like United States, Australia, Canada, Europe etc. And that’s where they are exploited by the human traffickers, who entice them to invest less to get to their destination. Ultimately, they all become slaves if they reach to their desired destination, many dies during the incursion, thousands jailed and deported. But still there is no stoppage of that organized crime.

 

Anti human trafficking programs are working all over the globe to make people aware of this brutality but they don’t reach to mass number of people who are expose to that demonic issue. I haven’t seen a single social platform which is reflecting the true value to the multicultural society. No true representation yet. The reason is that it’s a very huge problem and those anti human trafficking entities can only work in their restrictions. Even United Nations Organization hasn’t been able to outsource their relief programs across the globe.

 

So that’s where I saw an option which can not only capable of bringing a revolution in anti human trafficking efforts but it can also help in a massive way to educated people about anti human trafficking tools they can use to prevent themselves from modern day slavery.

 

Anti Human Trafficking Efforts: Using Internet and Social Media

 

The world has seen the greatest technological revolution of all time in the past 20 years. It started with the introduction of artificial intelligence followed by the rise of internet, which has worked wonders for the global information transfer regime. And then there came the era of emotional intelligence when social networks became a vital part of the lives of most human beings in civilized nations.

 

There are now more than 800 million people from around the world who are using social networks to interact with each other. What is personally most inspiring to me is the relative absence of racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination in this great melting pot of a universal nation that is the online world.

Imagine how powerful it would be for the anti human trafficking cause if this enormous body of people could be inspired to unite together and lend their support! Already, thousands of anti human trafficking experts use social networks, and they would add their strength to our efforts to educate the larger body of people.

 

Concluding Anti Human Trafficking Issue in Personal Assumptions:

 

If we harness the rapidly growing power of digital technology, our anti human trafficking programs will have a greatly increased hope of shaping a better world for the next generation. We have the opportunity to save victims from the merciless brutality of the oppressive modern slaver. We must first find the optimum digital platform to use for the launch of our anti human trafficking campaign, where we are able to provide information on a wide scale about known human traffickers, affected regions, and organizations that will help human trafficking victims.

 

The most current examples that we see are CNN Freedom Project, Not For Sale Campaign, International Justice Mission, The BBC World Service Trust, Action Aid and Aide et Action. These have been granted by Internet and Social Media Giant Google Inc., which will work in coalition to facilitate governments to stop slave labor by identifying ring masters, documenting abuse, and freeing individuals. They will be providing refuge to victims with recovery programs and job training to empower them for their new lives.

 

Google Inc. also showed trust in Anti Human Trafficking tool portals like powerful Slavery Footprint Calculator and Polaris Project’s National Trafficking hotline. FreedomNow is also formed for the same purpose, but it’s pretty unique as it is providing a mix of general education, resources to empower victims everywhere, and an extensive database of known traffickers and their agents around the world.

 

These examples show us that together we can make a difference by building a safer, freer, and more prosperous world for all. Let’s start a digital revolution for anti human trafficking now.
