New app aims to reduce number of missing and murdered Native women

Tribal Watch MMIW began in part with Trafficking Watch, an app to fight human trafficking. Clyde Ford鈥檚 role as a professor at Western Washington University, where he worked with some students on rape prevention efforts on campus, also provided insight for the app, along with efforts in South Africa. Those living in villages with internet access could text into police headquarters about crimes they saw in progress.
