Why data
Trafficking is a complex, hidden problem.
Organizations face challenges fighting trafficking due to fragmented and unreliable data sources, distrust in data-sharing, and inconsistent data collection and analysis methods.
Without better data, we’ll lose this fight.
The movement isn’t progressing in prevention, protection, prosecution, policy, and partnership.
We’re building a new data ecosystem.
One that brings the best data sources together, with strong values-driven partnerships, to influence and empower the future of this work.
Allies Vision
We believe in a future where every community has the data it needs to make victims visible and prevent human trafficking.

Our Impact in 2024
Human trafficking is often invisible, difficult to measure, and misunderstood. Our data-driven solutions help identify, confront, and prevent exploitation, making the unseen visible.
What began as a small volunteer effort in 2010 has grown into a transformative force, equipping over 200 partners and 2,000 field professionals with the tools to take strategic action. Through four key programs, we empower schools, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and policymakers with critical insights to drive real change. Together, we are making human trafficking not only visible—but stoppable.
