NVader effectively combats sex trafficking
and sex trafficking is the commercial
*** exploitation of, typically, woman and children
it's one of the fastest growing forms of slavery in the world today
it's the fastest growing international crime
in the next 10 years it's estimated by many
that it will become the number one source of income
for criminal groups around the world
It currently earns organized crime more than $3.2 billion US dollars a year
and that's simply because women and children can be sold again and again and again
the profits are huge and the penalties for selling women and children
are typically less the than they are for selling drugs, weapons...
so currently the risks to organized crime
a very low and we aim to change that, we want to make it very risky
for women and children to be sold in this manner
NVader operates by conducting covert professional intelligence-lead investigations
that allow us to give a compelling evidence that we then can use to set people free
from sex trafficking, to facilitate the prosecution of the perpetrators responsible
and thirdly, to empower local communities, local law enforcement
to effectively do this work themselves
the Cellebrite device allows us to gather information,
intelligence, and really compelling evidence at the scene of a crime
one of the things we are doing is processing
cell phones that have been located at the address
in particular ones that are connected with the business or with the mamasans at the address
from the previous raid we were involved in we saw that cell phones were an area
that were not being considered an evidence
so we had some discussions about that and approached a company called "Cellebrite"
who develop some amazing equipment that allows law enforcement people
to extract any data that's contained on a cell phone
so, yeah, pretty fancy devices that can do some pretty fancy stuff
and can pull information of pretty much any phone type device
we can gather the cellphones of the offenders and plug them into the UFED device
which will then give us all of the context, all of the emails, the SMS messages
and in some cases - photographs, the GPS coordinates of victims
that have not yet even been identified and ultimately, to rescue them
NVader is a nonprofit and non-government organization
and we simply don't have the ability to purchase this kind of equipment
but thanks to the generosity of Cellebrite
we are now able to us this amazing technology
in the fight against sex trafficking
and rescue victims from what is essentially
the worst form of slavery known to men
