Intercept online recruitment and advertisement to disrupt the Trafficking in Human Beings (THB) model

INTERCEPTED project aims to disrupt the digital model of THB by improving the digital capabilities of law enforcement and judicial authorities, focusing on two points for the disruption: recruitment and advertisement, taking into account that the methods used in terms of language, platforms, targets, and strategies vary according to the profiles of the victims and the type of exploitation.

CYBERWORLD RECRUIMENT

Awareness of Trafficking Human Beings modus operandi among social media and website providers

LABOUR AND SEXUAL EXPLOITATION

Multi-agency response and public-private cooperation for the interception of criminals in the physical world

The project focuses its research and prevention activity in Central Europe and the Western Balkan route.

For a better understanding of the THB phenomenon and to keep abreast of trends from a technological and security point of view, INTERCEPTED includes cooperation between public actors and the private sector through the use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to design and develop structured responses against online THB activities.
