Human Trafficking Watchdogs is an independent documentation and analysis project. We align with internationally recognized definitions of human trafficking as articulated by the UNODC, ILO, and Polaris Project. We prioritize survivor-centered, rights-based frameworks and distinguish clearly between allegations, documented evidence, and verified findings. We do not engage in vigilantism or amateur investigations that could endanger victims.
