Innovative data model gains national attention, poised to transform anti-trafficking efforts across United States.

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Belmont University's Data Collaborative (BDC) has joined forces with Engage Together, an organization working to end and prevent human trafficking in all its forms, to develop innovative data-driven solutions in the fight against human trafficking. This partnership, which began 18 months ago, has already made significant strides in Tennessee and is poised to expand its impact across the United States. 

Working to strengthen community responses to all forms of human trafficking, Engage Together has been working with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's (TBI) Human Trafficking Task Force and the Tennessee Counter Trafficking Alliance (TCTA) on its most current project in Tennessee.
