The Problem:

Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that enslaves nearly 21 million people around the world. Reliable data remains a major challenge at the heart of anti-human trafficking efforts. Lack of data = lack of issue legitimacy, data-informed solutions, and public awareness.

The Solution:

Our inaugural ATHackathon will create innovative tools to track and analyze data related to trafficking. We are looking to the community to make a concerted effort towards solving a global and local issue. Incredible innovation towards social good can manifest with the combined knowledge and wisdom of activists and technologists.

 ATHackathon Objectives:

• Bring together 100+ diverse participants to pitch and create tools to track and analyze data related to trafficking.
• Increase awareness of human trafficking issues within the tech community.
• Build connections across the tech and social justice communities to foster ongoing collaboration.
