What We Believe

Working Toward an End to Human Trafficking

At TraknProtect®, we believe that the hospitality industry should be a place of safety and comfort for all. Unfortunately, for far too many, it has become a space of fear and exploitation. Globally, thousands of women and children are trafficked through this very system. This issue is deeply personal to us, which is why we are unwavering in our commitment to helping eradicate these practices.

What sets TraknProtect® apart is not just our support of initiatives like the AHLA’s 5-Star Promise and No Room for Trafficking, but the fact that we actively engage in the fight ourselves. Our entire team – from our employees to our board of directors – is certified in human trafficking awareness and prevention. We are the only company in the industry that ensures this level of commitment from every single person within our organization. It’s not just a cause for us; it’s our purpose. We encourage you to be a part of the solution by taking the training yourself using this link. OnWatch Training | OnWatch™ (iamonwatch.org)

 

 

Our dedication to this cause is also reflected in how we do business. in addition to our CEO, Parminder Batra co-chairing the Safe House Project's workgroup, which aims to bring various technology companies and hotel brands & management companies to the table to work together to find a technical solution to solving human trafficking, we make intentional choices, including sourcing our employee gifts and giveaways from organizations that support human trafficking survivors. These items are made by survivors themselves, and a portion of the proceeds goes directly toward raising awareness and funding programs that aid in their recovery. This way, we don’t just talk about the problem; we invest in the solutions and the survivors who deserve a second chance. From our partnership and service to Safe House Project to our sourcing gifts from Rethreaded.com, we don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk.  

 

We believe that everyone – from hotel employees and guests to service providers like us – has a role to play in this fight. Education is key, and together, we can learn to identify the signs of trafficking and respond effectively. You can take action by learning more here, and by reporting suspicious activities through the Human Trafficking Hotline, texting 233-733, calling 1-800-373-7888, or alerting hotel security.

Let’s unite in our mission to bring an end to human trafficking. This isn’t just our responsibility—it’s our passion. Together, we can make a real difference.
