This is an exploratory project which involves analysis of secondary analysis of NGO data on human trafficking in order to map the human trafficking phenomenon in Zimbabwe. It is a collaboration with the Bindura University of Science Education and working in partnership with one local NGO, Childline; one International NGO, Love Justice International and one UN Migration Agency, The International Organization for Migration – Zimbabwe.

Data description (abstract)

The first set of data is secondary data on child exploitation in Zimbabwe that the project collected from the NGO partner, CLZ. The data was collected through a 24 hour helpline and is in the form of summaries of the conversations held with the individuals who called CLZ to report cases of child abuse and exploitation.

The second set of data is secondary data that we collected from our NGO partner organisation, LJI. This is based on the organisation’s human trafficking interception work in Zimbabwe, which involves placing monitors at strategic transit points to identify and stop trafficking as it occurs.
