When Sherrie Caltagirone saw the suffering and injustice of human trafficking, it became her life’s mission to act. She founded GEN, a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to using the power of data to help the up to 45 million annual victims of human trafficking.“Trafficking is a human tragedy. But it’s also an illicit economy, where someone buys a product to meet a demand like sex and domestic servitude,” says Caltagirone. “That transaction often has a digital footprint. So human trafficking is a data problem; 99.9% of our daily battles are about accessing data to stop trafficking.”
