Make a Difference: Take Photos of Your Hotel Room

Hotel room

Sometimes making a difference is ridiculously easy.

I first heard about TraffickCam through one of the anti-slavery organizations I follow. The concept is simple: Since sex traffickers often take pictures of their victims in a hotel room, searchable photos of hotel rooms can be used to locate the traffickers. TraffickCam wants to verify the location of the hotel where you are taking pictures, so you will need to allow it to see your location while you are using your phone, and you should use it while you are at your hotel, not after you’ve returned home.

If you have a smart phone, you can make a difference whenever you stay in a hotel. Simply get the free TraffickCam app and take up to four photos of your room (the app recommends two photos of the room from different angles, a photo of the bed from the foot of the bed, and a photo of the bathroom from its doorway). You can either take the photos in the app or upload them to the app.

That’s it! Please get the TraffickCam app today and use it during your next hotel stay.
