In January and February of 2012, participants in the Many Faces of Human Trafficking Working Group discussed the prospect of creating a website to serve as "the major online academic resource for human trafficking research." As envisioned, the website, hosted by Indiana University and affiliated with the Center for the Study of Global Change, would serve as the "first-stop" resource for scholars, researchers, policy makers, the media, and others who are seeking non-partisan and vetted information on the subject of human trafficking.
