The internet is an important source of information on the issue of human trafficking and anti-trafficking. In this assignment, you are asked to evaluate websites of two anti-trafficking organizations (governmental or non-governmental, national or international) and compare them with respect to their approaches to counter-trafficking, focus and scope of their action, their methods of work, target populations, etc. You can choose organizations from the list below, or choose some other organizations that are relevant. Whenever you can, supplement the information from the organizations’ websites with other information you can find about these organizations (newspaper articles, TV programs, Internet publications, etc.)
Write one 4-5-page double-spaced paper that will summarize your comparison of these websites and organizations. Maximum number of points for this assignment is 100.
