		<p class="text-left my-4"><strong>The Human Trafficking Data Observatory</strong> is an investigative data project
			into modern slavery in southern Africa. We use
			data from social media and internet forums to track how traffickers use online communities to traffick vulnerable
			people, especially women and children.</p>

		<p class="text-left">We’re also building an information library right here. This is where reliable demographic data
			and statistics on human trafficking can easily be found. Our team of researchers and forensic data investigators
			are
			building this library
			in partnership with NGOs and experts working in the anti-trafficking movement.</p>
