I am impressed by your idea and approach to the issue. However, you need closer observation and engagement with the people directly affected by the problem of human trafficking. In order to get a realistic picture of the problem, I suggest that you seek for solutions from communities. The ordinary people are the main clients of law enforcement and anti-trafficking advocacy groups. Communities understand the challenges they experience when seeking assistance from law enforcement agencies and anti-trafficking groups. Therefore, there is a need to organize meeting with community leaders and past victims of human trafficking to understand the challenges you will be addressing in the application in light of the two users. The second approach is engaging with personnel from the two primary users by visiting their offices to understand the problems from their perspective. These two approaches will be effective in enhancing your understanding of the problem.
