Anti-Slavery Week: Modern slavery and human trafficking in today's world

Modern slavery is one of the most covert, hidden – and tragic – crimes of our time.  50 million people suffer in slavery even as this article is being written.

This is Anti-Slavery Week, surrounding Anti-Slavery Day on October 18th. Organizations such as Stop the Traffik and Slave-Free Alliance (part of the international organization Hope for Justice) make it their sole mission to end modern slavery and human trafficking. They do this through assisting and facilitating prevention, detection, prosecution, and rescue efforts.

Modern slavery are human crimes and include human trafficking (sex trafficking, forced labor, child sexual exploitation, to name a few). Detecting and investigating human trafficking red flags in financial data is something we at RedFlag Accelerator approach in an effective, unique, and next-level way. Our technology brings into plain site what is hidden in billions of lines of banking data – red flags come to the surface easily and quickly, to produce more qualified leads to pass on to law enforcement agencies. And qualified leads equate to more convictions – a critical piece to disrupting the human trafficking system.

This week, share the message and help us increase awareness of the ultimate crime against humanity of our lifetime: modern slavery. We are proud to be a key player in changing the game for human traffickers – a.k.a., shutting them down. Share this post and those of organizations noted above this week. Because awareness drives change.

Banks play a key role, with the help of RedFlag Accelerator, in disrupting human trafficking and modern slavery – because, as the saying goes, “Follow the money.”
