What it is the problem?

Currently in the country where we live is in the first 5 in trafficking, this means that there are people who are, against their will, in a situation where they have been forced to perform work, which also They are mistreated and humiliated. Their rights are taken away as people and they are treated as objects. There are currently 27 million slaves in the world, Mexico is the 18th place in slavery so it is a big problem in our country that is not being so considerate

Trafficking of people happens more frecuently mainly in regions less accessible to the authorities as well as those farthest from the city. It is noted that among the more than 22 thousand missing in Mexico, it is stated that many of them are being used in labor and sexual exploitation. Francisco Jiménez Reynoso, an investigator of the University of Guadalajara, indicates the importance of influence in the family and education, because it is no coincidence that in areas with less educational and financial availability are more likely to suffer from this type of crime. One of the main challenges facing a possible solution is the existence of culture where it is normal for the child to work when legally it is an action that violates your rights.

As indicated by Francisco Jiménez Reynoso, one of the main problems with trafficking in persons is that an investigation is not carried out and actions are not taken to get to know their whereabouts and intention of disappearance. Impunity plays an extremely important role in this issue, as this prevents vital information for authoritarian processes from being carried out.

What can be done


Reduce impunity: We can't really ask the government to end this if we don't allow it, impunity has normalized over the years, among other things, because of the lack of trust we have in the authorities, letting us influence more for the fear of our security at the expense of a criminal preventing us from exercising our rights correctly.


Raise awareness in the community and impart a safe culture. Educate people about prevention. Offer quality assurance in the communities that need it as well as investigations due to all the cases that require it, make people feel safe and in confidence with the authorities. Change starts with us but no We can do this alone, we vitally need the government.

Our own solution

that helps analyze information entered by users and stored in a database, protecting their identity under anonymity, about the disappearances of their acquaintances with the purpose of presenting the appropriate matches on the occurrences and disappearances of people and the police departments destined for the search be notified. In this idea, computer security managed by the administrator is very important to avoid possible erroneous and malicious handling of information. It would have a server which would need to be kept active for the proper functioning of the databases.

The user will have the option to choose between whether he found a person or if an acquaintance disappeared. If you have chosen the first option, you will be redirected to a form that will make you choose or upload a photograph about the possible victim found; If this is among the options, the information is sent to the administrator who will later send the notification of coincidence to the police department. Otherwise, the information will be stored for 15 days in the database. If you have chosen the second option, the user will be redirected to a login register, where you must enter your email and password; later you will find a form where you can upload the image of the individual and enter the information of the same.

We know that at present there have been many cases of missing persons in Mexico and the complaints along with the procedures are usually very slow, so we want to focus on facilitating the analysis of information and being able to notify the authorities as soon as possible to that they can find and investigate the cases of missing persons.
