iPods to help fight human trafficking
Police in the English county of Durham are using iPods to help in the fight against human trafficking. The police are aware that it can take several hours to locate translators who speak the appropriate language for a victim who often speaks no English. The iPods are pre-loaded with basic messages to re-assure the victims, who might be from states where they cannot trust the police. Audio files have been recorded in Albanian, Portuguese, Czech, French, Lithuanian, Malay, Mandarin, Romanian, Russian and Thai. To read more about this and related subjects, please go to
