At its core, human trafficking is economic activity subject to many of the same forces of change that affect legal industries--particularly technological innovation. In some instances technological innovation has caused human trafficking to diminish, and in other instances flourish. But unlike other industries such as media production and payment processing that are similarly undergoing rapid change due to technological innovation, the changes to human trafficking industries are measured in human lives saved and lost, making it both the greatest opportunity and tragedy of the Millenial generation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlex is with the International Human Trafficking Institute (IHTI), a new student-focused initiative of the Center for Civil and Human Rights.
