Background

Human trafficking is a global human rights issue that affects millions of people around the world. It involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit individuals for the purpose of forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of exploitation. The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 24.9 million victims of human trafficking worldwide, with women and children being particularly vulnerable. Human trafficking is often a hidden crime, making it difficult to identify and prosecute. However, with the increasing use of technology by traffickers, there is an opportunity to leverage technology to combat this issue. Machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, can be used to analyze text, images, and audio to identify patterns and provide insights that can aid in the investigation and prevention of human trafficking. By combining the power of technology with the expertise of human rights advocates and law enforcement, we can take meaningful steps towards combating this pervasive and devastating problem.
