Data for Dignity is a captivating read for every aspiring advocate whose heart aches for the unseen victims of human trafficking: from young girls forced to become nannies or sex workers, to fishermen, farm workers, and factory employees trapped for years in degrading conditions.Amidst these stories, technology arises as a powerful tool that can empower individuals to escape this injustice and combat it head-on. You'll learn about organizations that send automated text messages offering resources to at-risk girls. You'll discover how possible sites of forced labor - from fishing vessels to brick kilns - can be monitored thanks to cutting-edge techniques. And your faith in humanity will be restored when you hear about apps that are bringing people together from around the world to join in the movement against modern-day slavery. In fact, you'll find a myriad of ways in which you can get involved - as a data scientist, an app developer, a college student, or simply someone who cares deeply about those silently suffering in isolated areas or right in your neighborhood. Data for Dignity will help you approach the cause with a new sense of creativity, humility, and hope for this largely unexplored intersection of technology and human trafficking. You will be inspired to fight for freedom in your community and beyond - leveraging data to uphold the dignity that belongs to each of us.
