Position Type :Full Time; Salaried; Remote or Ballito, South Africa
Program and Position Overview : LJI's anti-human trafficking model focuses on transit monitoring. We identify, intercept, and assist trafficking victims as they are being transported—when victims and traffickers are the most visible and open to detection—and before they reach the destination where victims will be sold, hidden, and abused. Because the crime of trafficking has already commenced, we have access to actionable intelligence which can be used to assist police in the apprehension of suspects and to better understand trafficking methods. To date, we have intercepted over 64,000 individuals to prevent them from being trafficked. More than 1,500 arrests have stemmed from our anti-trafficking work with 36% of closed cases resulting in convictions.
