OHIO, (WOWO) — The State of Ohio has launched an online dashboard that will consolidate human trafficking data and information from across all agencies statewide – making that data available in real-time.

Data from various state agencies was previously housed on separate sites.

The new dashboard, launched in time for National Human Trafficking Prevention Month will enable users to not only see and combat trends, but also to connect survivors with needed resources faster.

An additional benefit is that any gaps in reporting and screening can be immediately identified and addressed.
