Investigation
Sex-trafficking is a well-funded, well-organized illegal activity on the same scale as the drug or arms trade, yet very little is known about it.  Part of the reason for this is that trafficking thrives in developing countries where police and justice systems are over-burdened, under-funded, and rife with corruption.

THI is working with experts in the field of trafficking investigations to develop sound strategies to gain a better understanding of traffickers methods of recruiting victims, their transportation routes, funding sources, safe houses, and the destinations of their victims.  Such information, along with the critical support of local government offices, could lead to opportunities for repatriation of girls trafficked to India and for more prosecutions of the powerful individuals behind human trafficking.
