Education
Ending Human Trafficking Starts With Education. The Alliance to End Human Trafficking educates to shed light on one of society’s most prominent crimes often hidden in plain sight. We educate to eradicate the atrocity of human trafficking and to empower people to recognize when they are being groomed. Whether it’s through our our annual human trafficking conference, education booths at events, presentations, webinars or podcasts, we educate to make people aware of the signs of human trafficking and how to protect themselves and their neighbors.
There are more than 50 million human trafficking victims worldwide. Many of them are in your communities. What will you do to help your neighbor in need?

Advocacy
Since our founding, the Alliance to End Human Trafficking has envisioned and worked toward a world in which human trafficking ceases to exist. We know that ending exploitation first begins with education and advocacy. Will you join us in this work?
AEHT employs a diverse set of advocacy tools, including public policy advocacy, community engagement, shareholder advocacy with corporations, and survivor-led partnerships, to raise awareness of human trafficking and address its root causes. You can learn more about our latest advocacy campaigns, and sign up for our action alerts.
Where government leaders fall short, we stand up and advocate for changes.
Survivor Services
There are countless organizations that address human trafficking. What sets us apart is our belief in recognizing, restoring, and upholding the inherent dignity of each individual. We support survivors through our member houses that provide physical, emotional, and spiritual healing from a holistic perspective.
