In this webinar, Patrick Hannon, Director of the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center (HSTC) speaks about his unique experience of working across US federal agencies and the challenge of bringing together data that has the specificity and level of detail to be actionable. Patrick offers his view on the importance of data-sharing partnerships to generate new insights on forced labor especially and to develop a strong evidence base for more effective joint action of government and non-government actors.
He highlights how all of us in this space are bound together by caring about an issue of common concern and concluded that there is much reason to be optimistic as NGOs increasingly recognize their expertise in providing human intelligence.
