FOCUS: Using Technology to Support Trafficking Survivors 03/11/2019

Champlain College Professor Duane Dunston is developing a mobile app, YHAV (You Have a Voice), to help bridge the communication barrier with identifying trafficking victims and survivors.

In Part 3 of our series, Dunston talks about his experience of learning about slavery for sex and labor when he was a young teacher in Thailand. He learned how impoverished men, women, and children were forced into slavery and then he decided to do something about it which has resulted in his YHAV app which offers access in over 30 languages.
