We are preparing our first of two #THB roundtables in Vienna for next week! DISRUPT’s field work investigates the use of digital evidence in THB cases and the protection of child victims in 5 countries concluding within the 1Q of 2024 complementing the legal and policy analysis!

Together with our partners of University of Malta, CESIE, LIF, and Victim Support Europe, we are analysing the new challenges of technology-facilitated trafficking of human beings #THB focussing on protection of child victims.

Check out our ambitions for the DISRUPT project: Reducing the sole reliance on victims' testimonies therein diminishing the risk of secondary victimisation by strengthening digital-led investigations and prosecutions in cases of #THB.

In order to #DISRUPT global #THB chains, we have to link-up our response: digital and physical, crossing borders, connecting sectors...

We have attended a number of #THB events last month surrounding October 18th's Anti-Slavery-Day. The challenges of new digital means and protecting child victims have been recognised by multiple organisations engaged in the fight. Here are the envisaged impacts of #DISRUPT.

Here are the main challenges identified in the DISRUPT project, which we are currently investigating through analysing the legal and policy framework in 5 EU MSs, and a series of expert roundtables and interviews.

The DISRUPT project responds to the rise in technology-facilitated trafficking of human beings (THB), specifically the sexual exploitation of children. It aims to improve investigations, prosecutions and the judicial response based on digital evidence. https://t.co/Qp3eUjfTf0
