Traffic Jam
The digital landscape is a critical battleground in the fight against human trafficking. Every day, thousands of online ads for sexual services conceal victims of trafficking. Our innovative solutions enable professionals and related companies to identify criminal networks and take action swiftly. We provide the tools and insights needed to combat human trafficking in the sex industry, allowing you to focus on taking decisive action. Together, we can fight human trafficking and make a difference.
According to the National Terrorism Advisory System, human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel individuals into labor or commercial sex acts. The exploitation of minors for commercial sex is considered trafficking, irrespective of whether force, fraud, or coercion is involved. This crime affects individuals across all demographics, exploiting vulnerabilities related to age, race, gender, socioeconomic status, and immigration status.
The International Labor Organization estimates commercial sexual exploitation generates $99 billion in profits annually. Traffickers maximize technology to exploit victims while evading law enforcement detection.
In the digital era, trafficking has been significantly influenced by modern enablers, including global marketing sites (including social media), digital banking, apps aiding , and vulnerabilities in our nation’s visa system. These tools provide traffickers with broad access to tools to facilitate criminal enterprises from exploiting the vulnerable. This anonymity allows traffickers to operate more easily, drawing less attention while maximizing their profits. The digital environment has thus become a crucial battleground in the fight against human trafficking, requiring heightened safety defenses, innovative solutions, and vigilant monitoring.

I’ve found it to be incredibly powerful and is where I look first when trying to find ads and victims... Traffic Jam was critical in locating all of the information needed for us to identify the victims. I can’t speak highly enough about the platform’s capabilities and how much we depend on it in our cases.
