Traffick Junction concepts, a survey

We are creating a new online platform called Traffick Junction.  It will provide tools to link practitioners working on anti-trafficking.  This survey will show you mock-ups of possible pages on this platform.  We’d like to get feedback from you on them. Any time during the survey that you’d like to finish, you can scroll to the bottom and press “Submit”.

Below is an overview of the different functions the platform could offer.

Is the basic idea — of an online platform for anti-trafficking practitioners to meet, collaborate + share resources — useful to you?

No, I feel comfortable with all this information being visible to the network.

Then you can visit the Collaboration Page. You can work with other people on the network on projects. You can create or join a Group, which is a collection of people on the network who share common work or interests. Or you can create or edit a Project — which is a collection of files and messages for a specific purpose. Some projects might be a grant application, a case you are working on, a conference paper, or a research project.

If you click on one of the listings in the menu, like “My Groups”, it will expand to show the submenu with the groups that you belong to. You can click on any of the icons to go to that group’s page.

If you click on “My Active Projects”, then its submenu expands. You can see the current projects you are working on. If you click on any of the projects’ buttons, that will take you to the Project’s page. On that page, you can see all of the members of the project, the files for the project, and the timeline and events for the project.
