Goal 01
Traffickers β
Consequences
Making trafficking costly, dangerous, and unprofitable in DFW - through enforcement coordination, civil litigation, financial disruption, and hospitality sector engagement.
Fund the goal
Active brothels operating in DFW today (a proxy for trafficker presence)
Counties across DFW where trafficking operates (and law enforcement rarely coordinates)
DFW hotels implementing industry-standard anti-trafficking protocols
Where we are working
And where the gap remains
Hotels implementing emerging counter-trafficking standards through our partner Hotel Shield
39 of 1,00082% of trafficking survivors report being sold from or transiting through hotels. Hotels have a strategic position to help fight human trafficking and we now have 39 amazing partners in DFW working with Hotel Shield to solve human trafficking in hotels.
Active partnership and strategy
Engagement in progress
No active engagementThe problem
200 illicit massage brothels operate in DFW
Less than 1% of human trafficking crimes are prosecuted.
Law enforcement wants to stop this, but doesn't have the capacity.
Clapham brings tech, business models, and marketplace solutions to turbo-charge the heros in our law enforcement to take down human trafficking.
Our first goal is to shut down 80% of the illicit massage brothels in DFW.
We have used AI to find them, and we're working with law enforcement to build cases against them to at least shut them down, and ideally seize their assets.
What we're building
Turbo-charging the justice system with tech-enabled case building
IGI (Implicit Good Investigations) adds capacity to law enforcement to turbo-charge the existing justice system.
Civil litigation and financial asset recovery
Every dollar seized from traffickers is a dollar that can no longer fund exploitation. IGI is building the civil litigation and criminal seizure capacity to make trafficking financially catastrophic for those who profit from it.
Hospitality sector activation
Hotel Shield, True Path Vision, and Dark Watch are building the training, technology, and real-time intelligence infrastructure to turn DFW's hotels from trafficking venues into trafficking disruptors.
Training hospital staff to detect trafficking
Justice U partners with hospitals to provide training that increases identifications by up to 100x.
