The Counter-Trafficking Data Collaborative (CTDC)
Implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with various actors from civil society and private sector
A Joint Call for Practices by the Migrant Protection Platform and the Network's Hub
For this year’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons (WADiP), under the theme “Leave No Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking”, the Platform and the Migration Network Hub launched a Joint Call for Practices of programmes and policies relevant to Objective 10 of the Global Compact for Migration (Prevent, combat and eradicate trafficking in persons in the context of international migration).
Key Highlights from the Practice
CTDC provides accessible, up-to-date, and reliable data on trafficking in persons, empowering stakeholders to develop targeted interventions and evidence-based policies. CTDC’s dataset also contributed to the Global Estimates of Modern Slavery by ILO, Walk Free, and IOM, published in 2022, providing detailed data on victims trafficked for forced labour and sexual exploitation. The activities have also led to recommendations and lessons learned, highlighting the significance of prioritizing data protection and ethical considerations in sharing counter trafficking data, as well as the importance of establishing strategic partnerships for data sourcing and application of advanced technologies.
