Naomi James-Davis is a Rights Lab Visiting Fellow in Applied Anti-Trafficking Programme Strategy and Impact Measurement. She is Global Director of Strategy and Impact at the anti-human trafficking NGO Justice & Care, where she leads the organisation’s approach to impact measurement, research integration, and strategy iteration. In this role she has developed and overseen systems that ensure programming is evidence-informed, data-driven, ethically grounded, and oriented toward meaningful change in complex operational environments.

Her work focuses on bridging rigorous research and frontline practice — supporting adaptive organisational strategy, strengthening monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and advancing learning loops that help translate evidence into better interventions. At Justice & Care she has led the integration of research and evaluation into programme design, collaborated with governments and law enforcement on evidence-led policy change, and promoted survivor-centred approaches to impact measurement.

 

At the Rights Lab she contributes practitioner-led insight into the design and application of impact frameworks, the articulation of research questions grounded in operational realities, and collaborations that strengthen the evidence base for effective anti-trafficking policy and practice.
