Context:

The crime of human trafficking is complex, dynamic, and clandestine, taking place in a wide variety of contexts and often perpetrated by organized criminal networks. A principal challenge in developing targeted counter-trafficking response and measuring its impact is the lack of reliable, high-quality data. Since 2001, IOM has developed and maintained the world’s largest global database of primary data on victims of trafficking. The Organization has assisted over 85,000 cases worldwide and is the largest actor in this regard. IOM’s database is a unique tool in its size, geographic scope and detail on victims of trafficking. While originally designed as a case management tool, it is increasingly valued for its research potential within and outside the Organization.

The Organization is now partnering with other leaders in this field to host the world’s largest open access, multi-stakeholder repository of human trafficking data from different organizations. In developing the Counter-trafficking Data Collaborative (CTDC), IOM and its partners aim to take the data revolution to the fight against modern-day slavery. By making the Organization and its partners’ data available to external parties on a systematic basis, whilst ensuring the anonymity of victims, CTDC will rapidly enhance the evidence base for the development of responses to the threat of human trafficking and labour exploitation and abuse.
