The project Con-Trata offers an application so users can inform themselves about human trafficking and denounce a case. To make a complaint the app takes a photo of the suspected case with the GPS localization and optional information given by the user. This information goes to an organization working against human trafficking to take measure of follow-up to the case.
It also offers complementary services using basic technology: web site and phone number for SMS messages.
