What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?
The HTC provides professional research, writing and educational outreach on human trafficking and modern slavery. Our goals are to influence policy, raise awareness and improve inter-organizational cooperation. The project includes fifteen professional research papers, an extensive taxonomy project on terms-of-art, viral advocacy and the creation of an interactive multimedia DVD.
Will you launch your idea as a business or non-profit?
Non-profit
Country your work focuses on
United States
What will be the impact of your idea?
The research project results will be a series of professional policy papers and program assessments on under researched and unexplored topics in human trafficking and modern slavery. The projects will provide much-needed information and descriptive graphics to be used by international organizations, NGOs, governmental organizations and law enforcement with the impact of improving policy, raising regional awareness and improving anti-trafficking programs. The projects will be published in the first online journal to focus specifically on human trafficking. The results of the Taxonomy Project include a series of concise and universally-agreed-upon definitions of terms-of-art to be used in future policy creation, scholarly research and to promote inter-organizational cooperation. Additionally, an online taxonomy database, forum and wiki-page will be created in conjunction with an HTC website. The results of the outreach and advocacy will be a greater understanding and awareness of what human trafficking really is in the greater Denver/Boulder area.
Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?
The HTC works closely with Washington DC-based NGO, Free the Slaves. As one of the leading NGOs in the field of human trafficking, Free the Slaves provides valuable insight throughout the development and implementation of the projects. The HTC also works with the faculty and staff of the University of Denver to help create a formidable presence of young activists, committed to eradicating modern day slavery and human trafficking on campus.
The HTC is an ideal organization to undertake this project due to their political neutrality, mission and composition. With the goal of addressing the gap in sound academic research and providing accurate information on human trafficking and modern slavery, the HTC works with non-profit organizations, governmental organizations, government agencies, and private sector partners, but does not ascribe to any particular political, social or religious view other than the desire to end human trafficking, forced labor and modern slavery.
