About
Stanford Human Trafficking Data Lab
The Stanford Human Trafficking Data Lab is a multidisciplinary research collaboration with both academic expertise and frontline anti-trafficking experience working to apply the most promising research innovations to combat human trafficking.
Our Lab has extensive experience conducting rigorous empirical research with expertise in statistics and econometrics (often in challenging data environments), global health, clinical care, computer science, human rights, corporate governance, corporate finance, and international law. We combine this expertise with a deep qualitative understanding of human trafficking, including the direct participation of survivor leaders and allies with decades of experience in the anti-trafficking field. Finally, Lab members’ rich experience in global advocacy and policy helps ensure our learnings translate into impactful action.
