8A- Solving the Problem


My selected opportunity is human trafficking in Gainesville, Florida. Human trafficking in Gainesville is now marked as a green zone, which means that it’s on the human trafficking map of locations for Florida. This problem directly affects woman, children, teenagers, and the homeless population.
My product/service that I could sell to customers to provide a solution to this epidemic is the creation of a navigation chip that could be surgically placed under the skin of an individuals’ body. This chip would be able to give the exact location of that individual at any given time in the case of an emergency via an online website. Each chip would be given a pin to enter onto the website to track the location according to the chips pin. This would provide a large solution to where a missing individual is and where other victims of human trafficking are located. I could price the procedure at a low cost so that any family could be able to afford it, and also retain a percentage of the profits to donate this procedure to the local homeless community and have online representatives given the information of the homeless populations pin numbers and names in the case that one is reported missing.

    Human trafficking is such a huge issue and that it is great that you have come up with an idea to help solve this public problem. As a female, I am constantly on guard and cautious of who I am around. I like your idea of the chip and I would definitely feel safer when I am out in public.

  2. Wassup Victoria,

    this was an interesting read and I agree that sex trafficking is something that needs to be stopped. I honestly don't think that solution would solve the problem because people who do sex trafficking looks at it as a business and way to make money so they will be up to date on all the new things like chips getting placed in people and come up with a way of taking it out or even knowing who has it or not.

  3. Hey Victoria,
    Your opportunity is something that is not talked about enough and I thought your solution was a really smart one. I did not realize Gainesville was a "green zone" so the opportunity is definitely there. Your solution is not only smart but also plausible in my opinion to help reduce this horrible problem. I also liked how it would be low priced and you'd donate the proceeds to the homeless. Great post!
