Watchlight Project

Shining a Light in the digital shadows

Led by Survivors. Strengthened by Veterans. United by Purpose

Purpose Statement

To empower veterans and survivors to lead open-source intelligence (OSINT) efforts that identify, disrupt, and dismantle terrorism and human trafficking threats across the globe.

Who We Are

The Watchlight Project is a veteran-led, survivor-informed, open-source intelligence (OSINT) initiative dedicated to combating terrorism and human trafficking across both the digital and physical landscapes. We combine mission-ready skill sets with real-world experience to expose threats that are often hidden in plain sight.

Our Mission

To equip a new generation of intelligence professionals – guided by veterans and survivors – to uncover and disrupt global trafficking and terror networks through ethical, open-source intelligence practices.

What We Do

  • Train veterans, survivors, and mission-aligned civilians in cutting-edge OSINT techniques.
  • Collaborate with NGOs, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals.
  • Deploy insights through real-time investigations and threat monitoring.
  • Build sustainable career pathways in counter-threat intelligence.

Why It Matters

Traffickers and terrorists exploit online spaces to coordinate, recruit, and harm. Survivors and veterans bring unmatched insight and resilience to the fight. We give them the tools and the mission to lead it.
