Human Trafficking Web Portal

Human Trafficking Search, a new web portal, has been launched by the National MultiCultural Institute. It provides access to web-based information resources on human trafficking generally, as well as child labor, bonded labor and sex slavery practices. Its target audience is "individuals and organizations working to eliminate human trafficking."

Users can search by country or keyword, using a variety of either basic or advanced search features. No browse function is provided, nor is there information about how or what kinds of resources are selected for inclusion. More details about the selection process and collection policy would be helpful to provide users a better sense of what they might expect to find.

Examples of other information-rich sites working to eliminate human trafficking include the Global Alliance against Traffic in Women, the Coalition against Trafficking in Women, and the ChildTrafficking Digital Library.
