A COLLABORATIVELY EVOLVING BODY OF KNOWLEDGE

Add your favorite counter-human trafficking resources

Log in with a single click, using a Twitter or Facebook account. (Optionally: using an email address.)

Add the resources you love by popular authors & organizations — and items you've created yourself.

See an error? You're able to fix it

We've built our system under wiki principles. The entire community helps to keep resources up-to-date and accurate. All item information is able to be edited by the community-at-large until an author or producer of the work claims it as their own — at that time, only listed authors and producers are able to make changes. Commenting remains open to the community!

Push the best resources to the top

Up-vote your favorite items — the community's democratic voice determines which resources show up first.

For example: searching “victim rehabilitation” displays all of the resources listed under that tag in the order of quality dictated by the community-at-large.

This helps us to collaboratively push the best solutions & practices to the top!

Bring great insights to light

Help move the best thoughts and insights to the forefront; see them shuffle around in real-time.

It's one of our platform's chief aims — to facilitate a democratic sharing of knowledge across disciplines; to make revelatory discourse  accessible to the community-at-large.

While noting the voice of our experts

Lowering the barriers to contribution has huge implications, but it’s imperative to simultaneously preserve high-level input.

The human trafficking Specialists accounts allow us all to toggle to the voice, and essential know-how, of our leading, on-the-ground experts. The 'Specialists' also have a bit more weight in the user-voting of materials.

If you're a well-versed expert in human trafficking, we'd love for you to apply for a Specialist Account.

Other Library secrets

subject Filtering

The 'Subject' filter dropdown is automatically populated by the thirty most-used tags (displayed in order of use). This is another subtle way the Library is able to evolve in real-time — to stay pertinent.

our algorithm

Our algorithm dictates the order in which resources are displayed. It factors item up-votes, down-votes; comment count; polarization. (We'll soon expound on this in a bit more detail.)

downloads

Files are only available for download on resources which users have indicated they have the rights to make available. In fact, the option for uploading files remains inaccessible unless users first list themselves as an author (or an organization they own as a producer).
