What we did and why we did it?
1. Identify & map different types of technologies being used to faciliate, prevent and combat
1. CATEGORIES: 1. WEB –BASED (internet, applications & software)2. HARDWARE
2. Assess this use
3. Identify future trends in technology and human trafficking
4. Develop recommendations for the TRACE target audience1. Policy makers2. Law enforcement agencies3. Civil society organisations
