Why your company's resources might be fueling sex trafficking

3 ways businesses can fight sex trafficking | Nikki Clifton · 12:30 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: Sex trafficking is no longer confined to the shadows; it frequently occurs during work hours using corporate equipment and infrastructure. Attorney Nikki Clifton explains how the business community can pivot from being unwitting participants to active allies in dismantling these networks.

The video explores the reality that sex buying often happens online, integrated into the workday rather than just on street corners. Because businesses provide the tools and resources used in these transactions, they hold a unique position of influence to educate and mobilize their workforce against exploitation.

Clifton outlines three specific strategies for corporate intervention: establishing clear internal policies, educating employees on how to recognize trafficking, and actively hiring survivors to help lead these efforts.
