What We Do
We equip organizations and individuals with the knowledge, tools, and resources to address human trafficking in our community by increasing public awareness, delivering tailored trainings, and facilitating multi-disciplinary collaboration.
What is Human Trafficking?
.
Human Trafficking is the exploitation of humans for profit, often categorized by sex and labor trafficking. It is a complex problem we face in our communities.
The Collaborative to End Human Trafficking began in 2007 and was built on the understanding that a multifaceted human rights and public health issue like human trafficking cannot be solved by one organization or system alone.
We recognized that only when we bring people together to unlock our collective potential can we create solutions that break the cycle of human trafficking.
