Imagine a world where survivors of human trafficking can share their stories without fear. On July 30, 2024
- World Day Against Trafficking in Persons -
this became a reality.

Today, we are launching a groundbreaking campaign that uses GenAI to give voice to survivors while protecting their identities. Through AI-generated avatars powered by D-ID's cutting-edge technology, you'll hear real stories that will open your eyes to the realities of trafficking and child exploitation in the U.S.

Meet Courtney, an aspiring artist trafficked at 23; Theresa, groomed and exploited at 15 while still living at home; Bob, abused at the age of 5 by family members; and Sara, who emphasizes that survivors seek global recognition, and empathy in their healing journey. Their stories, and others like them, will challenge what you think you know about trafficking.

This isn't just another awareness campaign. It's a collaboration between tech innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, survivors, and social workers, including:
Shiran Mlamdovsky Somech (D-ID, Generative AI for Good)
Naama Zeevi Rivlin (Marva Center)
Dr. Celia Williamson (Emancipation Nation Network)
Theresa Flores (The SOAP Project)
D-ID: Providing the AI technology that brings survivors' stories to life

While AI can be misused, leading to abuse and exploitation of adults and youths around the world, this project is a great example of how GenAI is a powerful ally in the fight against human trafficking.

Watch the video. Share it. And if you suspect trafficking, report it.

Together, we can make a difference!
