Data type
The first data set is secondary data on child exploitation in Zimbabwe that the project collected from the NGO partner, CLZ. The data was collected through a 24 hour helpline and is in the form of summaries of the conversations held with the individuals who called CLZ to report cases of child abuse and exploitation. The Helpline operated by CLZ is designated as the National Referral Mechanism for Victims of Trafficking. The data being shared consists of 106 cases that CLZ classified as matching Human Trafficking. The second set of data is secondary data that the project collected from our NGO partner organisation, LJI. This is based on the organisation’s human trafficking interception work in Zimbabwe. Trained staff undertake interception work at strategic transit points to identify potential victims of trafficking as an attempt to stop trafficking as it occurs. The data being shared consists of 35 cases that were classified by the organisation as offering evidence of human trafficking.

Data collection method
After the signing of the data sharing agreement, the process of data collection involved engaging CLZ in order to establish the nature of the available data and format in which it existed. We identified they had data collected through their 24-hour helpline which was handwritten and stored in physical files to allow follow up visits with clients. In line with the project aims and objectives, we only selected the cases that the organisation had classified as matching human trafficking. All typing, translation and anonymization of data was done by the organisation to ensure confidentiality. We are sharing this raw data for reuse. Following the signing of the data sharing agreement, we received a sample of the data that LJI held on Human Trafficking in Zimbabwe. We further engaged the LJI to get clarity on the data sample shared before the commencement of the data sharing. The data that we eventually collected was based on recorded cases whose identity was withdrawn in line with ethical standards for handling such data. We are sharing this raw data for reuse.
