Worldwide, about 40 million people are victims of human trafficking each year. Kept captive on a farm, forced to work with no pay and little to eat, living in fear of abuse, all while raising an infant—this and other stories of modern-day slavery endure around the globe.
Anti-slavery organizations help rescued women, men, and children overcome trauma and restore their lives. Case workers can help them navigate their legal, financial, and mental-and physical-health challenges, but as many as 40 percent drop out of the programs, disappear, or are recaptured by traffickers.
We partnered with an aid organization that had already helped thousands of survivors restore their lives and had an ambitious vision to scale the number of people it services by 20 times. To achieve this goal, the organization needed deeper insights, which required new systems and case-worker training in data collection and data entry. Our experts worked hand in hand with the organization to harness data and implement sophisticated analytics and machine learning to improve its aftercare program and recovery services.
